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] -------------------------------------
[ 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!
