After commit f3dc1bdb6b0b("cifs: Fix writeback data corruption"), the
writepages for cifs will find all folio needed writepage with two phase.
The first folio will be found in cifs_writepages_begin, and the latter
various folios will be found in cifs_extend_writeback.

All those will first get folio, and for normal case, once we set page
writeback and after do really write, we should put the reference, folio
found in cifs_extend_writeback do this with folio_batch_release. But the
folio found in cifs_writepages_begin never get the chance do it. And
every writepages call, we will leak a folio(found this problem while do
xfstests over cifs).

Besides, the exist path seem never handle this folio correctly, fix it too
with this patch.

The problem does not exist in mainline since writepages path for cifs
has changed to netfs. It's had to backport all related change, so try fix
this problem with this single patch.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
