A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus
different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch
the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be
dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in
that it reaches into bdi internals.
This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode
if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without
exposing bdi internals.

bdi_destroy() has code to transfer the remaining dirty inodes to the
default_backing_dev_info; however, given the shutdown sequence, it
isn't clear how such condition would happen. Also, it isn't a full
solution as the transferred inodes stlil point to the bdi which is
being destroyed. Operations on those inodes can end up accessing
already released fields such as the percpu stat fields.
Digging through the history, it seems that the code was added as a
quick workaround for a bug report without fully root-causing the
issue. We probably want to remove the code in time but for now let's
add a comment noting that it is a quick workaround.

Canceling of bdi->wb.dwork is currently a bit mushy.
bdi_wb_shutdown() performs cancel_delayed_work_sync() at the end after
shutting down and flushing the delayed_work and bdi_destroy() tries
yet again after bdi_unregister().
bdi->wb.dwork is queued only after checking BDI_registered while
holding bdi->wb_lock and bdi_wb_shutdown() clears the flag while
holding the same lock and then flushes the delayed_work. There's no
way the delayed_work can be queued again after that.
Replace the two unnecessary cancel_delayed_work_sync() invocations
with WARNs on pending. This simplifies and clarifies the code a bit
and will help future changes in further isolating bdi_writeback
handling.

The only places where NULL test on bdi->dev is used are
bdi_[un]register(). The functions can't be called in parallel anyway
and there's no point in protecting bdi->dev clearing with a lock.
Remove bdi->wb_lock grabbing around bdi->dev clearing and move it
after device_unregister() call so that bdi->dev doesn't have to be
cached in a local variable.
This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference.
