writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use wb_domain aware operations
wb_over_bg_thresh() currently uses global_dirty_limits() and wb_dirty_limit() both of which are wrappers around operations which take dirty_throttle_control. For cgroup writeback support, the function will be updated to also consider memcg wb_domains which requires the context information carried in dirty_throttle_control. This patch updates wb_over_bg_thresh() so that it uses the underlying wb_domain aware operations directly and builds the global dirty_throttle_control in the process. This patch doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.
