FUSE has a bug where it fails to clear congestion states if a
connection gets aborted while congested, which can leave
nr_wb_congested[] stuck until reboot causing wait_iff_congested() to
wait spuriously.

While the bdi owner, FUSE, is primarily responsible for clearing
congestion states before destroying bdi_writebacks, bdi layer can
ensure that congestion states are not leaked beyond bdi_writeback
lifecycle.
