Just drop mentioning of how we got the reference ,it's rather pointless.

We don't actually need inode_wb_list_lock here.  But I guess we can
fix this later and be conservative for now.

I think the __mark_inode_dirty cleanup should be a separate patch,
it's rather confusing in the current form.

Please just move the label to the end of the function and add another
goto here.
