From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> enable or disable wbt is always called with queue freezed, so that wbt can never be enabled or disabled while io is still inflight, and this behaviour should always hold to avoid io hang(There have been reported several times). Therefor, the code to handle wbt enable/diskble with io inflight is not and never will be used, hence remove such dead code.
