fs: skip I_FREEING inodes in writeback_sb_inodes
Skip I_FREEING inodes just like I_WILL_FREE and I_NEW when walking the writeback lists. Currenly this can't happen, but once we move from inode_lock to more fine grained locking we can have an inode that's still on the writeback lists but has I_FREEING set, and we absolutely need to skip it here, just like we do for all other inode list walks. Based on a patch from Dave Chinner. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
