H A Dnfs_fs_sb.h6df25e58 Tue Mar 22 16:39:01 CDT 2022 NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> nfs: remove reliance on bdi congestion

The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed.

NFS is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting just
the async (write) congestion flag at what it determines are appropriate
times.

The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some)
WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped.

So instead of setting the flag, set an internal flag and change:

- .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag is set

- .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE and the
flag is set.

The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can
now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be
called on the page which (I think) wil further delay the next attempt at
writeout. This might be a good thing.
