Commit d353d7587 added a plug/finish_plug pair to writeback_sb_inodes,
but writeback_sb_inodes has a horrible secret...it's called with the
wb->list_lock held.

Btrfs raid5/6 and MD raid10 have horrible secrets of their own...they
both do allocations in their unplug callbacks.

None of the options to fix it are very pretty.  We don't want to kick
off workers for all of these unplugs, and the lock doesn't look hot
enough to justify bigger restructuring.
