Btrfs: don't return congestion in write_cache_pages as often
On fast devices that go from congested to uncongested very quickly, pdflush is waiting too often in congestion_wait, and the FS is backing off to easily in write_cache_pages. For now, fix this on the btrfs side by only checking congestion after some bios have already gone down. Longer term a real fix is needed for pdflush, but that is a larger project.
