[PATCH V2] writeback: merge try_to_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() into caller

From: Rakesh Pandit
Date: Mon Oct 09 2017 - 06:34:47 EST


Since commit 925a6efb8ff0c ("Btrfs: stop using
try_to_writeback_inodes_sb_nr to flush delalloc") this function hasn't
been used outside so stop exporting it.

In addition we merge it into try_to_writeback_inodes_sb() which is the
only caller. Also change return type of try_to_writeback_inodes_sb to
void as the only user ext4 doesn't care.
