You definitely shouldn't make writeback_inodes_sb_nr() static, that it part of generic writeback API (although it is currently unused, I agree). I'm somewhat undecided about writeback_inodes_wb() - it may be handy for someone wanting to write out everything on the bdi and it is a sane interface, OTOH it is unused as you say and not exporting it wouldn't break consistency of the API...
