Subject: [PATCH] writeback: fix call of incorrect macro

 the variable 'history' is of type u16, it may be an error 
 that the hweight32 macro was used for it 
 I guess macro hweight16 should be used

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 2a81490811d0 ("writeback: implement foreign cgroup inode detection")
