Laptop mode really wants to writeback the number of dirty
pages and inodes. Instead of calculating this in the caller,
just pass in 0 and let wakeup_flusher_threads() handle it.
Use the new wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi() instead of rolling
our own. This changes the writeback to not be range cyclic,
but that should not matter for laptop mode flush-all
semantics.
