The newly added driver causes a harmless warning in some configurations:
block/blk-wbt.c:250:1: error: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
static bool inline stat_sample_valid(struct blk_rq_stat *stat)
This makes it use the expected format for the declaration.

Again a leftover from when the throttling code was generic. Now that we
just have the block user, get rid of the stat ops and indirections.

The bdi was a leftover from when the code was block layer agnostic.
Now that we just support a block layer user, store the queue directly.

We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered
writes.
wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is
happening in the system:
wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318
wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1,
wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57
wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32
This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat
dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a
step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the
device, 259:0 in this case.
