There are now two multiqueues for in cache blocks.  A clean one and a
dirty one.

writeback_work comes from the dirty one.  Demotions come from the clean
one.

There are two benefits:
- Performance improvement, since demoting a clean block is a noop.
- The cache cleans itself when io load is light.
