Jan Kara 4eff96dd52 writeback: put unused inodes to LRU after writeback completion 
Commit 169ebd9013 ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback.  As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there).  Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.

The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned.  But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances.  Following can easily reproduce the
problem:

  for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
    mkdir $i
    for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
      touch $i/$j
      echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    done
  done

then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.

We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().
