writeback: Update dirty flags in two steps

Browse source 
Filesystems with delalloc support may dirty inode during writepages.
As result inode will have dirty metadata flags even after write_inode.
In fact we have two dedicated functions for proper data and metadata
writeback. It is reasonable to separate flags updates in two stages.
