When do_wp_page is ending, in several cases it needs to reuse the
existing page. This is achieved by making the page table writable,
and possibly updating the page-cache state.
Currently, this logic was "called" by using a goto jump. This makes
following the control flow of the function harder. It is also
against the coding style guidelines for using goto.
As the code can easily be refactored into a specialized function,
refactor it out and simplify the code flow in do_wp_page.
