In __writeback_single_inode(), when we find a locked inode and we're not
doing a data-integrity sync, we used to just skip writing entirely,
since we didn't want to wait for the inode to unlock.

However, there's really no reason to skip writing the data pages, which
are likely to be the the bulk of the dirty state anyway (and the main
reason why writeback was started for the non-data-integrity case, of
course!)
