From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Subject: remove inode_congested() inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is congested. No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always returns 'false'. So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.
