That's a bit messy. I'd prefer a static inline function that hides
all this. e.g.

track_hot_inode_ranges(inode, offset, length, rw)
{
if (inode->i_sb->s_flags & MS_HOT_TRACKING)
hot_inode_freq_update(inode, offset, length, rw);
}

Why only wbc->range_cyclic? This won't record things like
synchronous writes or fsync-triggered writes, are are far more
likely to be to hot ranges in a file...

Cheers,
