commit 10e14073107dd0b6d97d9516a02845a8e501c2c9 upstream. Commit b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode->i_io_list with inode->i_lock") made inode->i_io_list not only protected by wb->list_lock but also inode->i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked() was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing things protected by inode->i_lock. This also fixes a race where __mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
