Subject: [15/28] writeback: fix NULL bdi->dev in trace writeback_single_inode

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@...el.com>

commit 15eb77a07c714ac80201abd0a9568888bcee6276 upstream.

bdi_prune_sb() resets sb->s_bdi to default_backing_dev_info when the
tearing down the original bdi. Fix trace_writeback_single_inode to
use sb->s_bdi=default_backing_dev_info rather than bdi->dev=NULL for a
teared down bdi.
