Subject: [PATCH v3] fs: do not update freeing inode i_io_list

After commit cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE") writeback_single_inode can push inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set to b_dirty_time list. In case of freeing inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set this can happen after deletion of inode from i_io_list
at evict. Stack trace is following.

evict
fat_evict_inode
fat_truncate_blocks
fat_flush_inodes
writeback_inode
sync_inode_metadata(inode, sync=0)
writeback_single_inode(inode, wbc) <- wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE

This will lead to use after free in flusher thread.

Similar issue can be triggered if writeback_single_inode in the
stack trace update inode->i_io_list. Add explicit check to avoid it.

Fixes: cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE")

 V2 -> V3:
 - fix grammar in commit message and comments

 V1 -> V2: 
 - address review comments
 - skip inode_cgwb_move_to_attached for freeing inode
