writeback: Avoid softlockup when switching many inodes
process_inode_switch_wbs_work() can be switching over 100 inodes to a different cgroup. Since switching an inode requires counting all dirty & under-writeback pages in the address space of each inode, this can take a significant amount of time. Add a possibility to reschedule after processing each inode to avoid softlockups.
