writeback: clean up wb_dirty_limit()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The function name wb_dirty_limit(), its argument @dirty and the local
variable @wb_dirty are mortally confusing given that the function
calculates per-wb threshold value not dirty pages, especially given
that @dirty and @wb_dirty are used elsewhere for dirty pages.

Let's rename the function to wb_calc_thresh() and wb_dirty to
wb_thresh.
