Jiufei Xue ec084de929 fs/writeback.c: use rcu_barrier() to wait for inflight wb switches going into workqueue when umount
synchronize_rcu() didn't wait for call_rcu() callbacks, so inode wb
switch may not go to the workqueue after synchronize_rcu().  Thus
previous scheduled switches was not finished even flushing the
workqueue, which will cause a NULL pointer dereferenced followed below.

  VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of vdd. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a nice day...
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000278

Replace the synchronize_rcu() call with a rcu_barrier() to wait for all
pending callbacks to finish.  And inc isw_nr_in_flight after call_rcu()
in inode_switch_wbs() to make more sense.

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.
