writeback: flush inode cgroup wb switches instead of pinning super_block

commit a1a0e23e49037c23ea84bc8cc146a03584d13577 upstream.

If cgroup writeback is in use, inodes can be scheduled for
asynchronous wb switching.  Before 5ff8eaac1636 ("writeback: keep
superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches"), this
could race with umount leading to super_block being destroyed while
inodes are pinned for wb switching.  5ff8eaac1636 fixed it by bumping
s_active while wb switches are in flight; however, this allowed
in-flight wb switches to make umounts asynchronous when the userland
expected synchronosity - e.g. fsck immediately following umount may
fail because the device is still busy.

This patch removes the problematic super_block pinning and instead
makes generic_shutdown_super() flush in-flight wb switches.  wb
switches are now executed on a dedicated isw_wq so that they can be
flushed and isw_nr_in_flight keeps track of the number of in-flight wb
switches so that flushing can be avoided in most cases.

v2: Move cgroup_writeback_umount() further below and add MS_ACTIVE
    check in inode_switch_wbs() as Jan an Al suggested.
