Maybe just

	struct xfs_ioend	*prev = NULL;

to be a little less verbose?

With this change xfs_writepage_submit is rather pointless, I'd
rather open code it in the callers.

Just using a list_head for this is a lot easier to read and less
error prone at the cost of a single additional pointer in the ioend.

I think this code cold be consolidated:

	ASSERT(wpc->ioend || !count);
out:
	if (count) {
		xfs_start_page_writeback(page, !error, count);
		while (ioend_to_submit) {
			struct xfs_ioend *next = ioend_to_submit->io_list;

			ioend_to_submit->io_list = NULL;
			xfs_submit_ioend(wbc, ioend_to_submit, 0);
			ioend_to_submit = next;
		}
	} else {
  		xfs_aops_discard_page(page);
  		ClearPageUptodate(page);
  		unlock_page(page);
  	}

	return error;
