write-back: fix nr_to_write counter
Commit 05fe478d introduced some @wbc->nr_to_write breakage. It made the following changes: 1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write 2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE 3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going. However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make change 3. Change 1 is a bug. Change 2 does not seem to be necessary, and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done separately later. And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the commit message. This patch does the following: 1. Undo changes 1 and 2 2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments in _code_, not only in the commit).
