Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable page
writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so that all
points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable use the helper
function. This should provide stable page write support to most filesystems,
while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices that don't require the
feature.
