Ok, thanks.

It seems never used globally since it was introduced by commit 3259f8be.

It used to be referred only by bdi_forker_thread() until commit 839a8e86 moves
the calling into fs-writeback.c.
Yep, I think both are sane i/f but unnecessary to be exported globally.
Anyway, this is just a trivial cleanup, if people still think we need to keep
them exposed to global namespace, that's also fine.
Thank you for the patch review.
