The incrementing of the counter can be done before the call to __swap_writepage(). However, the caller must receive a notification when the writeback completes in order to decrement the counter. To achieve this functionality, this patch modifies __swap_writepage() to take the bio completion callback function as an argument. end_swap_bio_write(), the normal bio completion function, is also made non-static so that code doing the accounting can call it after the accounting is done.
