Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 24/26] writeback: Add asserts for adding freed inode to lists

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

[ Upstream commit a9438b44bc7015b18931e312bbd249a25bb59a65 ]

In the past we had several use-after-free issues with inodes getting
added to writeback lists after evict() removed them. These are painful
to debug so add some asserts to catch the problem earlier. The only
non-obvious change in the commit is that we need to tweak
redirty_tail_locked() to avoid triggering assertion in
inode_io_list_move_locked().
