identify multipage ->writepages() calls
NFS needs to be able to distinguish between single-page ->writepage() calls and
multipage ->writepages() calls.
For the single-page writepage calls NFS can kick off the I/O within the
context of ->writepage().
For multipage ->writepages calls, nfs_writepage() will leave the I/O pending
and nfs_writepages() will kick off the I/O when it all has been queued up
within NFS.
