writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowait

It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked
due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter.

There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.

If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.
