Subject: [PATCH 08/10] writeback: add lockdep annotation to inode_to_wb()

With the previous three patches, all operations which acquire wb from
inode are either under one of inode->i_lock, mapping->tree_lock or
wb->list_lock or protected by unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction.  This
will be depended upon by foreign inode wb switching.

This patch adds lockdep assertion to inode_to_wb() so that usages
outside the above list locks can be caught easily.  There are three
exceptions.

* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is holding wb->list_lock but the
  wb may not be the inode's.  Ensuring that is the function's role
  after all.  Updated to deref inode->i_wb directly.

* inode_wb_stat_unlocked_begin() is usually protected by combination
  of !I_WB_SWITCH and rcu_read_lock().  Updated to deref inode->i_wb
  directly.

* inode_congested() wants to test whether inode->i_wb is set before
  starting the transaction.  Added inode_to_wb_is_valid() which tests
  inode->i_wb directly.

v3: inode_congested() conversion added.

v2: locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() was missing in the first
    version.
