__wb_update_bandwidth() is called from two places -
fs/fs-writeback.c::balance_dirty_pages() and
mm/page-writeback.c::wb_writeback(). The latter updates only the
write bandwidth while the former also deals with the dirty ratelimit.
The two callsites are distinguished by whether @thresh parameter is
zero or not, which is cryptic. In addition, the two files define
their own different versions of wb_update_bandwidth() on top of
__wb_update_bandwidth(), which is confusing to say the least. This
patch cleans up [__]wb_update_bandwidth() in the following ways.
* __wb_update_bandwidth() now takes explicit @update_ratelimit
parameter to gate dirty ratelimit handling.
* mm/page-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is flattened into its
caller - balance_dirty_pages().
* fs/fs-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is moved to
mm/page-writeback.c and __wb_update_bandwidth() is made static.
* While at it, add a lockdep assertion to __wb_update_bandwidth().
Except for the lockdep addition, this is pure reorganization and
doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.
