writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id
Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty pages for a memcg. However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than just get the number of dirty pages. Just directly get the number of dirty pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats(). Also cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg stats.
