bdi: Mark congested->bdi as internal
congested->bdi pointer is used only to be able to remove congested structure from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on structure release. Moreover the pointer can become NULL when we unregister the bdi. Rename the field to __bdi and add a comment to make it more explicit this is internal stuff of memcg writeback code and people should not use the field as such use will be likely race prone. We do not bother with converting congested->bdi to a proper refcounted reference. It will be slightly ugly to special-case bdi->wb.congested to avoid effectively a cyclic reference of bdi to itself and the reference gets cleared from bdi_unregister() making it impossible to reference a freed bdi.
