[PATCH 2/6] writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks (write_cache_pages)

From: Wu Fengguang
Date: Fri Nov 27 2009 - 06:37:10 EST


No one is calling wb_writeback and write_cache_pages with
wbc.nonblocking=1 any more. And lumpy pageout will want to do
nonblocking writeback without the congestion wait.
