Subject: [PATCH] compat: only apply bdi pointer patch if bdi is in
 request_queue

The history is as follows:

1. In the beginning, request_queue.backing_dev_info was a regular member
2. Then, backing_dev_info became a pointer
3. Now the backing_dev_info pointer has moved to gendisk.bdi

So there is never a case where gendisk has a non-pointer
backing_dev_info. Thus, we only want to apply the pointer patch for old
kernels where backing_dev_info was still in request_queue.
