Merge branch 'writeback-plugging'

Fix up the writeback plugging introduced in commit d353d758
("writeback: plug writeback at a high level") that then caused problems
due to the unplug happening with a spinlock held.

* writeback-plugging:
  writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()
  Revert "writeback: plug writeback at a high level"
