Artem Bityutskiy dcf6a79dda write-back: fix nr_to_write counter 
Commit 05fe478dd0 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).
