Don't use those, they have bugs and have since been reverted.

Links to the patch series that Jens mentions are below. I doubt they
apply cleanly to older kernels. Somebody's probably going to need to
take a crack at backporting them eventually (I could try, even), but
I don't know anybody has yet.

Christoph Hellwig (8):
      writeback: fix writeback completion notifications
      writeback: queue work on stack in writeback_inodes_sb
      writeback: enforce s_umount locking in writeback_inodes_sb
      writeback: fix writeback_inodes_wb from writeback_inodes_sb
      writeback: simplify wakeup_flusher_threads
      writeback: simplify and split bdi_start_writeback
      writeback: add missing requeue_io in writeback_inodes_wb
      writeback: fix pin_sb_for_writeback
