[PATCH 4.14 120/159] block,bfq: Disable writeback throttling

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luca Miccio <lucmiccio@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit b5dc5d4d1f4ff9032eb6c21a3c571a1317dc9289 ]

Similarly to CFQ, BFQ has its write-throttling heuristics, and it
is better not to combine them with further write-throttling
heuristics of a different nature.
So this commit disables write-back throttling for a device if BFQ
is used as I/O scheduler for that device.
