Commit 670d21c6e17f6 ("fuse: remove reliance on bdi congestion") change how congestion_threshold is used and lock in fuse_conn_congestion_threshold_write is not needed anymore. 1. Access to supe_block is removed along with removing of bdi congestion. Then down_read(&fc->killsb) which protecting access to super_block is no needed. 2. Compare num_background and congestion_threshold without holding bg_lock. Then there is no need to hold bg_lock to update congestion_threshold.
