When using the cleaner policy to decommission the cache, there is
never any writeback started from the cache as it is constantly delayed
due to normal I/O keeping the device busy. Meaning @idle=false was
always being passed to clean_target_met()
Fix this by adding a specific 'cleaner' flag that is set when the
cleaner policy is configured. This flag serves to always allow the
cleaner's writeback work to be queued until the cache is
decommissioned (even if the cache isn't idle).

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.
