writeback: bdi_writeback_task() must set task state before calling schedule()
Calling schedule without setting the task state to non-running will return immediately, so ensure that we set it properly and check our sleep conditions after doing so. This is a fixup for commit 69b62d01. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
