[PATCH] remove page_launder() from bdflush

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Hi Linus, 

There is no reason why bdflush should call page_launder().

Its pretty obvious that bdflush's job is to only write out _buffers_. 

Under my tests this patch makes things faster.

Guess why? Because bdflush is writing out buffers when it should instead
blocking inside try_to_free_pages().

Please apply.
