<nod> I'll remove that.

Yes, it does...

...but as soon as we end up in the writeback hook, the b_ops and
XFS_SB_DADDR checks cause the hook to return without doing anything.

We need to block all other writers until /after/ we've written the
primary super, which means that we can't clear the callback until some
time after the bwrite.

Yep, will fix.
