Boyang reported that the commit c22d70a162d3 ("writeback, cgroup:
release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes") causes the kernel
to crash while running xfstests generic/256 on ext4 on aarch64 and
ppc64le.

The problem happens when cgwb_release_workfn() races with
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn(): wb_tryget() in
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() can be called after percpu_ref_exit()
is cgwb_release_workfn(), which is basically a use-after-free error.

Fix the problem by making removing the writeback structure from the
offline list before releasing the percpu reference counter. It will
guarantee that cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() will not see and not
access writeback structures which are about to be released.
