Recently there're some hungtasks on our server due to
wait_on_page_writeback, and we want to know the details of this
PG_writeback, i.e. this page is writing back to which device.
But it is not so convenient to get the details.
I think it would be better to introduce a tracepoint for diagnosing
the writeback details.
