Collision avoidance for pdflush threads. Turns the request_queue-based `unsigned long ra_pages' into a structure which contains ra_pages as well as a longword. That longword is used to record the fact that a pdflush thread is currently writing something back against this request_queue. Avoids the situation where several pdflush threads are sleeping on the same request_queue. This patch provides only the infrastructure for the pdflush exclusion. This infrastructure gets used in pdflush-single.patch
