Congestion hasn't been reliably tracked for quite some time. Most MM uses of it for guiding writeback decisions were removed in 5.16. Some other uses were removed in 17-rc1. This series removes the remaining places that test for congestion, and the few places which still set it. The second patch touches a few filesystems. I didn't think there was much value in splitting this out by filesystems, but if maintainers would rather I did that, I will. The f2fs, cephfs, fuse, NFS, and block patches can go through the respective trees proving the final patch doesn't land until after they all do - so maybe it should be held for 5.18-rc2 if all the rest lands by 5.18-rc1.
