writeback: move bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback

Browse source 
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.

* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
  write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
  balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.

* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
  instead of @bdi.

* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...)	-> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
  bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...)		-> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)
  bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...)	-> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  [__]bdi_update_bandwidth(bdi, ...)	-> [__]wb_update_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...)		-> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)

* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
  respectively.  Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
  as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[]
  introducing no behavior changes.

v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.
