fs: writeback: fix use-after-free in __mark_inode_dirty()
[ Upstream commit d02d2c98d25793902f65803ab853b592c7a96b29 ]
An use-after-free issue occurred when __mark_inode_dirty() get the
bdi_writeback that was in the progress of switching.

wb_put_many(old_wb, nr_switched)
cgwb_release
old wb released
wb_wakeup_delayed() accesses wb,
then trigger the use-after-free
issue
Fix this race condition by holding inode spinlock until
wb_wakeup_delayed() finished.
