Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: check bdi->dirty_exceeded when trying to skip data
writes
If we don't check the current backing device status, balance_dirty_pages can
fall into infinite pausing routine.
This can be occurred when a lot of directories make a small number of dirty
dentry pages including files.
