NeilBrown 9bb56d5925 FAT: use io_schedule_timeout() instead of congestion_wait()
congestion_wait() in this context is just a sleep - block devices do not
support congestion signalling any more.

The goal for this wait, which was introduced in commit ae78bf9c4f
("[PATCH] add -o flush for fat") is to wait for any recently written
data to get to storage.  We currently have no direct mechanism to do
this, so a simple wait that behaves identically to the current
congestion_wait() is the best we can do.

This is a step towards removing congestion_wait()

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
