writeback: implement foreign cgroup inode bdi_writeback switching

As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare
and memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely
confining the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks
ownership per-inode.  While the support for concurrent write sharing
of an inode is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by
different cgroups at different points in time is a lot more common,
and, more importantly, charging only by first-use can too readily lead
to grossly incorrect behaviors (single foreign page can lead to
gigabytes of writeback to be incorrectly attributed).

To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier
of an inode and transfers the ownership to it.  The previous patches
implemented the foreign condition detection mechanism and laid the
groundwork.  This patch implements the actual switching.

With the previously implemented [unlocked_]inode_to_wb_and_list_lock()
and wb stat transaction, grabbing wb->list_lock, inode->i_lock and
mapping->tree_lock gives us full exclusion against all wb operations
on the target inode.  inode_switch_wb_work_fn() grabs all the locks
and transfers the inode atomically along with its RECLAIMABLE and
WRITEBACK stats.
