writeback: fix uninitialized task_ratelimit
In balance_dirty_pages() task_ratelimit may be not initialized (initialization skiped by goto pause), and then used when calling tracing hook. Fix it by moving the task_ratelimit assignment before goto pause. Reported-by: Witold Baryluk <baryluk@smp.if.uj.edu.pl> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
