writeback: fix 100% CPU usage when dirtytime_expire_interval is 0

When vm.dirtytime_expire_seconds is set to 0, wakeup_dirtytime_writeback()
schedules delayed work with a delay of 0, causing immediate execution.
The function then reschedules itself with 0 delay again, creating an
infinite busy loop that causes 100% kworker CPU usage.

Fix by:
- Only scheduling delayed work in wakeup_dirtytime_writeback() when
  dirtytime_expire_interval is non-zero
- Cancelling the delayed work in dirtytime_interval_handler() when
  the interval is set to 0
- Adding a guard in start_dirtytime_writeback() for defensive coding

Tested by booting kernel in QEMU with virtme-ng:
- Before fix: kworker CPU spikes to ~73%
- After fix: CPU remains at normal levels
- Setting interval back to non-zero correctly resumes writeback
