cgroup writeback currently assumes that inode to wb association doesn't change; however, with the planned foreign inode wb switching mechanism, the association will change dynamically. When an inode needs to be put on one of the IO lists of its wb, the current code simply calls inode_to_wb() and locks the returned wb; however, with the planned wb switching, the association may change before locking the wb and may even get released. This patch implements [locked_]inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() which pins the associated wb while holding i_lock, releases it, acquires wb->list_lock and verifies that the association hasn't changed inbetween. As the association will be protected by both locks among other things, this guarantees that the wb is the inode's associated wb until the list_lock is released.
