[PATCH] block, writeback: wait for writeback to finish before detaching wb

[Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com>]

__blkdev_put() could surprise writeback thread by detaching the
wb object from an inode that hasn't cleared the I_SYNC flag yet.
This causes a NULL pointer dereference as seen below:

Make __blkdev_put() wait for the I_SYNC flag to clear before detaching
wb.
