We do some unlocked reads of writeback statistics like
avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, or bw_time_stamp. Generally we are
fine with getting somewhat out-of-date values but actually getting
different values in various parts of the functions because the compiler
decided to reload value from original memory location could confuse
calculations. Use READ_ONCE for these unlocked accesses to be on the
safe side.
