I am sorry that I forgot to mention that the patch should be applied to stable
since v4.4.

v4.4.179 and v4.9.171 depend on the commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches"). 
On these two versions we can just inc isw_nr_in_flight before return.

The patch is pasted below.
