[PATCH 07/11] Remove inode_congested()

From: NeilBrown
Date: Thu Feb 10 2022 - 00:41:05 EST


inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is
congested. No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always
returns 'false'.

So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call
sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.
