Commit acc8d8588cb7 converted afs_writepages_region() to write back a folio batch. The function waits for writeback to a folio, but then proceeds to the rest of the batch without trying to write that folio again. This patch fixes has it attempt to write the folio again.

This has only been compile tested.
