Subject: [PATCH] writeback: Simplify wb_stat_sum

wb_stat_sum disables interrupts and calls __wb_stat_sum which eventually calls
__percpu_counter_sum. However, the percpu routine is already irq-safe. Simplify
the code a bit by making wb_stat_sum directly call percpu_counter_sum_positive
and not disable interrupts. Also remove the now-uneeded __wb_stat_sum which was
just a wrapper over percpu_counter_sum_positive
