writeback: account for time spent congestion_waited

There is strong evidence to indicate a lot of time is being spent in
congestion_wait(), some of it unnecessarily.  This patch adds a tracepoint
for congestion_wait to record when congestion_wait() was called, how long
the timeout was for and how long it actually slept.
