writeback: rework wb_[dec|inc]_stat family of functions

Browse Source 
Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold
various statistics.  Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those
which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin
with double underscore.  However, they both end up calling
__add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is
already irq-safe.

Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since
they don't add any further protection than we already have.
Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly
without the irq-disabling dance.  This will likely result in better
runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters.

While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact
preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.
