 "Three trivial writeback fixes"

* 'writeback-for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux:
  CPU hotplug, writeback: Don't call writeback_set_ratelimit() too often during hotplug
  writeback: correct comment for move_expired_inodes()
  backing-dev: use kstrto* in preference to simple_strtoul
