Debt forgiveness logic was counting the number of consecutive !busy periods as the trigger condition. While this usually works, it can easily be thrown off by temporary fluctuations especially on configurations w/ short periods. This patch reimplements debt forgiveness so that: * Use the average usage over the forgiveness period instead of counting consecutive periods. * Debt is reduced at around the target rate (1/2 every 100ms) regardless of ioc period duration. * Usage threshold is raised to 50%. Combined with the preceding changes and the switch to average usage, this makes debt forgivness a lot more effective at reducing the amount of unnecessary idleness. * Constants are renamed with DFGV_ prefix.

Debt sets the initial delay duration which is decayed over time. The current debt reduction halved the debt but didn't change the delay. It prevented future debts from increasing delay but didn't do anything to lower the existing delay, limiting the mechanism's ability to reduce unnecessary idling. Reset iocg->delay to 0 after debt reduction so that iocg_kick_waitq() recalculates new delay value based on the reduced debt amount.

Debt reduction was blocked if any iocg was short on budget in the past period to avoid reducing debts while some iocgs are saturated. However, this ends up unnecessarily blocking debt reduction due to temporary local imbalances when the device is generally being underutilized, while also failing to block when the underlying device is overwhelmed and the usage becomes low from high latency. Given that debt accumulation mostly happens with swapout bursts which can significantly deteriorate the underlying device's latency response, the current logic is not great. Let's replace it with ioc->busy_level based condition so that we block debt reduction when the underlying device is being saturated. ioc_forgive_debts() call is moved after busy_level determination.

The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code. To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a superblock flag derived from it. This also helps with the case of e.g. a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code. One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi attribute in sysfs anymore. It is replaced with a queue attribute which also is writable for easier testing.

BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is only checked in the swap code, and used to decided if ->rw_page can be used on a block device. Just check up for the method instead. The only complication is that zram needs a second set of block_device_operations as it can switch between modes that actually support ->rw_page and those who don't.

Just checking SB_I_CGROUPWB for cgroup writeback support is enough. Either the file system allocates its own bdi (e.g. btrfs), in which case it is known to support cgroup writeback, or the bdi comes from the block layer, which always supports cgroup writeback.

Drivers shouldn't really mess with the readahead size, as that is a VM concept. Instead set it based on the optimal I/O size by lifting the algorithm from the md driver when registering the disk. Also set bdi->io_pages there as well by applying the same scheme based on max_sectors. To ensure the limits work well for stacking drivers a new helper is added to update the readahead limits from the block limits, which is also called from disk_stack_limits.

Set up a readahead size by default, as very few users have a good reason to change it.
