From: Tang Junhui <tang.junhui@xxxxxxxxxx>
When there is not enough dirty data in writeback cache,
writeback rate is at minimum 1 key per second
util all dirty data to be cleaned, it is inefficiency,
and also causes waste of energy;
in this patch, When there is not enough dirty data,
let the writeback rate to be 0, and writeback re-schedule
in bch_writeback_thread() periodically with schedule_timeout(),
the behaviors are as follows :
1) If no dirty data have been read into dc->writeback_keys,
goto step 2), otherwise keep writing these dirty data to
back-end device at 1 key per second, until all these dirty data
write over, then goto step 2).
2) Loop in bch_writeback_thread() to check if there is enough
dirty data for writeback. if there is not enough diry data for
writing, then sleep 10 seconds, otherwise, write dirty data to
back-end device.
