Subject: [PATCH] writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()

The code in writeback_single_inode() is relatively complex. The list requeing
logic makes sense only for flusher thread but not really for sync_inode() or
write_inode_now() callers. Also when we want to get rid of inode references
held by flusher thread, we will need a special I_SYNC handling there.

So separate part of writeback_single_inode() which does the real writeback work
into __writeback_single_inode() and make writeback_single_inode() do only stuff
necessary for callers writing only one inode, moving the special list handling
into writeback_sb_inodes(). As a sideeffect this fixes a possible race where we
could skip some inode during sync(2) because other writer refiled it from b_io
to b_dirty list. Also I_SYNC handling is moved into the callers of
__writeback_single_inode() to make locking easier.
