One thing I've notice when looking at this patch again: This duplicates the
metadata writeback done in __writeback_inodes_wb(). So you probably need a
new helper function like writeback_sb() that will call writeback_sb_inodes()
and handle metadata writeback and call that from wb_writeback() instead of
writeback_sb_inodes() directly.
