[PATCH] block,bfq: Disable writeback throttling

From: Luca Miccio
Date: Fri Sep 08 2017 - 05:50:50 EST


Similarly to CFQ, BFQ has its write-throttling heuristics, and it
is better not to combine them with further write-throttling
heuristics of a different nature.
So this commit disables write-back throttling for a device if BFQ
is used as I/O scheduler for that device.
