Tejun Heo d6c10f1fc8 writeback: implement WB_has_dirty_io wb_state flag
Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback)
has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation
without actively keeping track.  For cgroup writeback support, a
single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty
inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which
currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all
member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state
on each wb.

This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate
IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which
directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()).  All three
functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep
track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using
the new WB_has_dirty_io flag.  inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return
value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before.

mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of
inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake
up the wb.

While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool.
These functions were returning 0 and 1 before.  Also, add a comment
explaining the synchronization of wb_state flags.

v2: Updated to accommodate b_dirty_time.
