fs/writeback.c: use rcu_barrier() to wait for inflight wb switches go…

…ing into workqueue when umount

synchronize_rcu() didn't wait for call_rcu() callbacks, so inode wb
switch may not go to the workqueue after synchronize_rcu().  Thus
previous scheduled switches was not finished even flushing the
workqueue, which will cause a NULL pointer dereferenced followed below.

  VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of vdd. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a nice day...
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000278

Replace the synchronize_rcu() call with a rcu_barrier() to wait for all
pending callbacks to finish.  And inc isw_nr_in_flight after call_rcu()
in inode_switch_wbs() to make more sense.
