writeback: harmonize writeback threads naming
The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This
is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency.
hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places
is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer,
and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having
foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global
variable keeping the task_struct pointer
This patch renames:
* 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()'
* 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()'
because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more
consistent.
This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi
threads as "thread", not "task".
Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use
'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.
