[PATCH] pdflush exclusion

[PATCH] pdflush exclusion

Use the pdflush exclusion infrastructure to ensure that only one
pdlfush thread is ever performing writeback against a particular
request_queue.

This works rather well.  It requires a lot of activity against a lot of
disks to cause more pdflush threads to start up.  Possibly the
thread-creation logic is a little weak: it starts more threads when a
pdflush thread goes back to sleep.  It may be better to start new
threads within pdlfush_operation().

All non-request_queue-backed address_spaces share the global
default_backing_dev_info structure.  So at present only a single
pdflush instance will be available for background writeback of *all*
NFS filesystems (for example).

If there is benefit in concurrent background writeback for multiple NFS
mounts then NFS would need to create per-mount backing_dev_info
structures and install those into new inode's address_spaces in some
manner.
