  writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()
  writeback: Remove wb->list_lock from writeback_single_inode()
  writeback: Separate inode requeueing after writeback
  writeback: Move I_DIRTY_PAGES handling
  writeback: Move requeueing when I_SYNC set to writeback_sb_inodes()
  writeback: Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete()
  writeback: initialize global_dirty_limit
  fs: remove 8 bytes of padding from struct writeback_control on 64 bit builds

clear_inode() is gone; use end_writeback() instead. As before, it must
be called exactly once on each call of ->evict_inode() (as it used to be for
each call of ->delete_inode()). Unlike before, if you are using inode-associated
metadata buffers (i.e. mark_buffer_dirty_inode()), it's your responsibility to
call invalidate_inode_buffers() before end_writeback().
No async writeback (and thus no calls of ->write_inode()) will happen
after end_writeback() returns, so actions that should not overlap with ->write_inode()
(e.g. freeing on-disk inode if i_nlink is 0) ought to be done after that call.
