writeback: move last_active to bdi
Currently bdi threads use local variable 'last_active' which stores last time when the bdi thread did some useful work. Move this local variable to 'struct bdi_writeback'. This is just a preparation for the further patches which will make the forker thread decide when bdi threads should be killed.
