Btrfs: don't return congestion in write_cache_pages as often

On fast devices that go from congested to uncongested very quickly, pdflush
is waiting too often in congestion_wait, and the FS is backing off to
easily in write_cache_pages.

For now, fix this on the btrfs side by only checking congestion after
some bios have already gone down.  Longer term a real fix is needed
for pdflush, but that is a larger project.
