Subject: [PATCH 07/12] bdi: remove BDI_CAP_CGROUP_WRITEBACK

Just checking SB_I_CGROUPWB for cgroup writeback support is enough.
Either the file system allocates its own bdi (e.g. btrfs), in which case
it is known to support cgroup writeback, or the bdi comes from the block
layer, which always supports cgroup writeback.
