Subject: [PATCH 08/45] writeback: let balance_dirty_pages() work on the matching cgroup bdi_writeback

Currently, balance_dirty_pages() always work on bdi->wb.  This patch
updates it to work on the cgwb (cgroup bdi_writeback) matching the
blkcg of the current task as that's what the pages are being dirtied
against.

balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() now pins the current blkcg and looks
up the matching cgwb and passes it to balance_dirty_pages().  The
pinning is necessary to ensure that the cgwb stays alive while the
function is executing as a cgwb's lifetime is determined by its bdi
and blkcg.

As no filesystem has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK yet, this doesn't lead to
visible behavior differences.
