writeback: remove nonblocking/encountered_congestion references

Browse Source 
This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks).  There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.

The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion.  The latter will lead to more seeky IO.

The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.

We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
   that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
   is unfair in terms of LRU age.

Inspired by Christoph Hellwig. Thanks!
