Subject: [PATCH v7 6/6] writeback, cgroup: release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes

Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes
to the bdi's wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup writeback
structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups, which
are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu
statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid
different scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups.

Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode
detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a
single operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting
struct inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because
every switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period,
it would be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole
batch counts as a single operation (when increasing/decreasing
isw_nr_in_flight). This allows to keep umounting working (flush the
switching queue), however prevents cleanups from consuming the whole
switching quota and effectively blocking the frn switching.

A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not
enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode
in a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will
make a new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined
(in other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the
future an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.
