[patch 01/11] fuse: update backing_dev_info congestion state

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Set the read and write congestion state if the request queue is close
to blocking, and clear it when it's not.

This prevents unnecessary blocking in readahead and (when writable
mmaps are allowed) writeback.
