writeback: expose the bdi_wq workqueue
There are cases where userland wants to tweak the priority and affinity of writeback flushers. Expose bdi_wq to userland by setting WQ_SYSFS. It appears under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/writeback/ and allows adjusting maximum concurrency level, cpumask and nice level.
