dm writecache: have ssd writeback wait if the kcopyd workqueue is busy
Make dm-writecache wait if the kcopyd workqueue is busy (as will happen if waiting for page allocation or inside submit_bio). This change improves performance of "mkfs.ext2" by approximately 20% on one testbed. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
