writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writeback
bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for
WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback()
for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle
only WB_SYNC_NONE.
Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the
parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up
the API considerably.
