writeback: fix time ordering of the per superblock dirty inode lists 7
This one fixes four bugs.
There are a few situation in there where writeback decides it is going to skip
over a blockdev inode on the kernel-internal blockdev superblock. It
presently does this by moving the blockdev inode onto the tail of the blockdev
superblock's s_dirty. But
a) this screws up s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness and
b) refiling the blockdev for writeback in another 30 second is rude. We
should try again sooner than that.
Fix all this up by using redirty_head(): move the blockdev inode onto the head
of the blockdev superblock's s_dirty list for prompt writeback.
