writeback: kupdate writeback shall not stop when more io is possible

Fix the kupdate case, which disregards wbc.more_io and stop writeback
prematurely even when there are more inodes to be synced.

wbc.more_io should always be respected.

Also remove the pages_skipped check. It will set when some page(s) of some
inode(s) cannot be written for now. Such inodes will be delayed for a while.
This variable has nothing to do with whether there are other writeable inodes.
