bcache: rearrange writeback main thread ratelimit

Browse source

The time spent searching for things to write back "counts" for the
actual rate achieved, so don't flush the accumulated rate with each
chunk.

This will maintain better fidelity to user-commanded rates, but it
may slightly increase the burstiness of writeback.  The writeback
lock needs improvement to help mitigate this.
