xfs: handle negative wbc->nr_to_write during sync writeback

During data integrity (WB_SYNC_ALL) writeback, wbc->nr_to_write will
go negative on inodes with more than 1024 dirty pages due to
implementation details of write_cache_pages(). Currently XFS will
abort page clustering in writeback once nr_to_write drops below
zero, and so for data integrity writeback we will do very
inefficient page at a time allocation and IO submission for inodes
with large numbers of dirty pages.

Fix this by only aborting the page clustering code when
wbc->nr_to_write is negative and the sync mode is WB_SYNC_NONE.
