Noted that this limitation is just to triggered writeback as soon as
possible in the test, and it's 100% sure real situations can trigger
dirty pages write back asynchronously and continue to produce new dirty
pages.

If a lot of bio is not plugged, then it's the same as before; if a lot
of bio is plugged, noted that before this patchset, these bio will spent
quite a long time in plug, and hence I think performance should be
better.

Thanks,
Kuai
