    bdi: Mark congested->bdi as internal · b7d680d7

    congested->bdi pointer is used only to be able to remove congested
    structure from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on structure release. Moreover
    the pointer can become NULL when we unregister the bdi. Rename the field
    to __bdi and add a comment to make it more explicit this is internal
    stuff of memcg writeback code and people should not use the field as
    such use will be likely race prone.
    
    We do not bother with converting congested->bdi to a proper refcounted
    reference. It will be slightly ugly to special-case bdi->wb.congested to
    avoid effectively a cyclic reference of bdi to itself and the reference
    gets cleared from bdi_unregister() making it impossible to reference
    a freed bdi.
