bigfile/virtmem: Maintain dirty pages list for a fileh
This allows writeout code not to scan whole pagemap to find dirty pages to write out, which should be faster. But more importantly iterating whole pagemap on writeout would become unsafe, when in upcoming patch storeblk() will be called with virt_lock released: because there pagemap could be modified e.g. due to processing other read accesses. So maintain fileh->dirty_pages list and use it when we need to go through dirtied pages. Updates: #6
