writeback: use READ_ONCE for unlocked reads of writeback stats
We do some unlocked reads of writeback statistics like avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, or bw_time_stamp. Generally we are fine with getting somewhat out-of-date values but actually getting different values in various parts of the functions because the compiler decided to reload value from original memory location could confuse calculations. Use READ_ONCE for these unlocked accesses and WRITE_ONCE for the updates to be on the safe side.
