The first four patches are identical to the ones from friday, and then I added three more patches. Two of them are cleanups to better separate the WB_SYNC_NONE and WB_SYNC_ALL writeback paths, the latter is a fix for when a bdi is destroyed whilst inodes are still attached. I don't see a much better way to fix this at the moment, if inodes get requeued at sync time, then it would complicate exit quite a lot. So just move those entries to the default_backing_dev_info, which can handle them at any time.
