writeback: Include all dirty inodes in background writeback
Current livelock avoidance code makes background work to include only inodes
that were dirtied before background writeback has started. However background
writeback can be running for a long time and thus excluding newly dirtied
inodes can eventually exclude significant portion of dirty inodes making
background writeback inefficient. Since background writeback avoids livelocking
the flusher thread by yielding to any other work, there is no real reason why
background work should not include all dirty inodes so change the logic in
wb_writeback().
