When doing background writeback we start at the last index we wroteback
on an inode. However we want to loop around and scan from the beginning
if we do not meet our write out targets. We keep track of this with the
scanned variable, which is supposed to be set to 1 if we don't need to
loop around. Unfortunately we set this if we find any pages at all, so
if our writeback_index is slightly before the end of the file and we
find a dirty page we'll set scanned = 1 and thus never loop around to
the beginning of the file. Fix this by only setting scanned = 1 in the
range_cyclic case if we are starting at index == 0, or if we've actually
looped around to the beginning.
