[patch] remove some buffer-based writeout functions

[patch] remove some buffer-based writeout functions

[Andrew Morton]

Remove writeout_one_page(), waitfor_one_page() and the now-unused
generic_buffer_fdatasync().

Add new

	write_one_page(struct page *page, int wait)

which is exported to modules.  Update callers to use that.  It's only
used for IS_SYNC operations.
