[PATCH 32/49] writeback: make bdi_has_dirty_io() take multiple bdi_writeback's into account

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes.  For cgroup writeback support, it
needs to take all active wb's into account.  If any wb on the bdi has
dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.

To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
dip below 1.  bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.

While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it
used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior
difference.

bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether
->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero.  Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its
value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().
