Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-7:0)
Since only the read is operating as lockless (outside of the
"i_data_sem"), load tearing could introduce a logic bug. Fix it by
adding READ_ONCE() for the read and WRITE_ONCE() for the write.
Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx>

v2: also add WRITE_ONCE() which is recommended even for fixing load tearing.
