Mostly a straight forward change. The changes looks good to me.

In later few patches I see ext4_readpage converted to ext4_read_folio().
I think the reason why we have not changed ext4_writepage() to
ext4_write_folio() is because we anyway would like to get rid of
->writepage ops eventually in future, so no point.
I think there is even patch series from Jan which tries to kill
ext4_writepage() completely.
