Subject: [RFC 1/2] writeback: add support for filesystems to affine inodes to specific writeback ctx

Introduce a new superblock operation get_inode_wb_ctx_idx() to allow
filesystems to decide how inodes are assigned to writeback contexts.
This helps optimize parallel writeback performance based on the
underlying filesystem architecture.

In fetch_bdi_writeback_ctx(), if this operation is implemented by the
filesystem, it will return a specific writeback context index for a
given inode. Otherwise fall back to the default way.
