    Boyang reported that the commit c22d70a1 ("writeback, cgroup:
    release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes") causes the kernel to
    crash while running xfstests generic/256 on ext4 on aarch64 and ppc64le.

    The problem happens when cgwb_release_workfn() races with
    cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn(): wb_tryget() in
    cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() can be called after percpu_ref_exit() is
    cgwb_release_workfn(), which is basically a use-after-free error.
    
    Fix the problem by making removing the writeback structure from the
    offline list before releasing the percpu reference counter.  It will
    guarantee that cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() will not see and not
    access writeback structures which are about to be released.
