      superblock: move pin_sb_for_writeback() to fs/super.c · 12ad3ab6
      Dave Chinner authored
      The per-sb shrinker has the same requirement as the writeback
      threads of ensuring that the superblock is usable and pinned for the
      time it takes to run the work. Both need to take a passive reference
      to the sb, take a read lock on the s_umount lock and then only
      continue if an unmount is not in progress.
      
      pin_sb_for_writeback() does this exactly, so move it to fs/super.c
      and rename it to grab_super_passive() and exporting it via
      fs/internal.h for all the VFS code to be able to use.
