writeback: Fix lock imbalance in writeback_sb_inodes() Fix bug introduced by 169ebd90. We have to have wb_list_lock locked when restarting writeback loop after having waited for inode writeback. Bug description by Ted Tso: I can reproduce this fairly easily by using ext4 w/o a journal, running under KVM with 1024megs memory, with fsstress (xfstests #13): [ 45.153294] ===================================== [ 45.154784] [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] [ 45.155591] 3.5.0-rc1-00002-gb22b1f1 #124 Not tainted [ 45.155591] ------------------------------------- [ 45.155591] flush-254:16/2499 is trying to release lock (&(&wb->list_lock)->rlock) at: [ 45.155591] [<c022c3da>] writeback_sb_inodes+0x160/0x327 [ 45.155591] but there are no more locks to release!
