Subject: writeback, cgroup: keep list of inodes attached to bdi_writeback

Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific
cgwb structure.  It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the
writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup
structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be
prohibitively expensive.

While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time.  Once
cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists.  So the inode->i_io_list can
be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback
structure.

This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes
which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb.  Inodes
attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such
list.  The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs
structures more efficiently.
