Subject[PATCH 01/12] writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks
- no one is calling wb_writeback and write_cache_pages with
wbc.nonblocking=1 any more
- lumpy pageout will want to do nonblocking writeback without the
congestion wait

So remove the congestion checks as suggested by Chris.
