writeback: Fix occasional slow sync(1)

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads()
will submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
immediately without doing anything. Thus sync(1) will write all the
dirty inodes from a WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.

Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in
wakeup_flusher_threads() instead of calculating number of dirty pages
manually. That function also takes number of dirty inodes into account.

cfq-iosched: Fix null pointer dereference

NULL pointer dereference can happen in cfq_choose_cfqg()
when there are no cfq groups to select other than the
current serving group. Prevent this by adding a NULL
check before dereferencing.

msm: cpufreq: Only apply driver limits for scaling_min/max_freq writes

When new values are written to scaling_min/max_freq sysfs files, the
current code applies all the limits imposed by various ADJUST and
INCOMPATIBLE notifiers handlers before storing them.

When the ADJUST and/or INCOMPATIBLE notifiers change their limits
frequently, this behavior makes it almost impossible for a
user/userspace process to store the scaling_min/max_freq limits
that go beyond the instantaneous limits imposed by the notifiers.
Since these sysfs nodes are typically meant to set limits that need
to be enforced for the foreseeable future, this is not a very user
friendly behavior.

So, change the behavior to only apply limits that are enforced by
the cpufreq driver. Typically, these are just the absolute limits
of the HW and don't change very often.
