writeback: harmonize writeback threads naming
The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency. hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer, and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global variable keeping the task_struct pointer This patch renames: * 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' * 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()' because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more consistent. This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi threads as "thread", not "task". Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use 'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.
