   * indent the comment

After commit 839a8e86("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation
with unbound workqueue"), there is no bdi forker thread any more. However,
WB_REASON_FORKER_THREAD is still used due to it is TPs userland visible
and we won't be exposing exactly the same information with just a different
name.
