writeback: fix break condition
Commit dcf6a79dda5cc2a2bec183e50d829030c0972aaa ("write-back: fix
nr_to_write counter") fixed nr_to_write counter, but didn't set the break
condition properly.
If nr_to_write == 0 after being decremented it will loop one more time
before setting done = 1 and breaking the loop.
