writeback: do strict bdi dirty_exceeded

Browse Source 
This helps to reduce dirty throttling polls and hence CPU overheads.

bdi->dirty_exceeded typically only helps when suddenly starting 100+
dd's on a disk, in which case the dd's may need to poll
balance_dirty_pages() earlier than tsk->nr_dirtied_pause.
