[try_]writeback_inodes_sb[_nr]() and sync_inodes_sb() currently only
handle dirty inodes on the root wb (bdi_writeback) of the target bdi.
This patch implements bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and use it to make these
functions handle multiple wb's.
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() takes a base wb_writeback_work and create
clones of it and issue them to the wb's of the target bdi. The base
work's nr_pages is distributed using wb_split_bdi_pages() -
ie. according to each wb's write bandwidth's proportion in the bdi.
Cloning a bdi involves memory allocation which may fail. In such
cases, bdi_split_work_to_wbs() issues the base work directly and waits
for its completion before proceeding to the next wb to guarantee
forward progress and correctness under memory pressure.
