[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 06/11] ceph: remove reliance on bdi congestion

[NeilBrown]

The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed.

CEPHfs is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting
just the async (write) congestion flags at what it determines are
appropriate times.

The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some)
WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped.

So instead of setting the flag, set an internal flag and change:
 - .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag is set
 - .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE
    and the flag is set.

The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can
now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will
be called on the page which (I think) wil further delay the next attempt
at writeout.  This might be a good thing.
