and rename it to wb_over_bg_thresh(). The function is closely tied to
the dirty throttling mechanism implemented in page-writeback.c. This
relocation will allow future updates necessary for cgroup writeback
support.
While at it, add function comment.
This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any behavioral
changes.
