wbc->for_cgroup is only set in two conditions:

a) when mem_cgroup_balance_dirty_pages() is trying to get a cgroup
below its dirty memory foreground threshold.  This is in patch 12/14.

b) when bdi-flusher is performing background writeback and determines
that at any of the cgroup are over their respective background dirty
memory threshold.  This is in patch 13/14.
