filemap: add a per-mapping stable writes flag

[ Upstream commit 762321dab9a72760bf9aec48362f932717c9424d ]

folio_wait_stable waits for writeback to finish before modifying the
contents of a folio again, e.g. to support check summing of the data
in the block integrity code.

Currently this behavior is controlled by the SB_I_STABLE_WRITES flag
on the super_block, which means it is uniform for the entire file system.
This is wrong for the block device pseudofs which is shared by all
block devices, or file systems that can use multiple devices like XFS
witht the RT subvolume or btrfs (although btrfs currently reimplements
folio_wait_stable anyway).

Add a per-address_space AS_STABLE_WRITES flag to control the behavior
in a more fine grained way.  The existing SB_I_STABLE_WRITES is kept
to initialize AS_STABLE_WRITES to the existing default which covers
most cases.
