Hrmm.  In principle (or I guess even a subsequent patch), if we had
multi-page folios, could we simply loop the pages in the folio instead
of doing a single page and then calling back into iomap_write_begin to
get (probably) the same folio?

This looks like a fairly straightforward conversion, but I was wondering
about that one little point...
