Recent changes of fs-writeback cause such warnings if DETECT_HUNG_TASK
is not enabled:

INFO: The task sync:1342 has been waiting for writeback completion for more than 1 seconds.

The reason is sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is 0 when DETECT_HUNG_TASK
is not enabled, then it causes the warning message even if the writeback
lasts for only one second.

Guard the wakeup and logging with "#ifdef CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK" can
eliminate the warning messages. But on the other hand, it is possible
that sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs be also 0 when DETECT_HUNG_TASK is
enabled. So let's just check the value of sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
to decide whether do wakeup and logging.

Fixes: 1888635532fb ("writeback: Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk.")
Fixes: d6e621590764 ("writeback: Add logging for slow writeback (exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs)")
