writeback: do not lose wake-ups in bdi threads
Currently, bdi threads ('bdi_writeback_thread()') can lose wake-ups. For
example, if 'bdi_queue_work()' is executed after the bdi thread have had
finished 'wb_do_writeback()' but before it called
'schedule_timeout_interruptible()'.
To fix this issue, we have to check whether we have works to process after we
have changed the task state to 'TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE'.
This patch also clean-ups handling of the cases when 'dirty_writeback_interval'
is zero or non-zero.
Additionally, this patch also removes unneeded 'list_empty_careful()' call.
