[PATCH v6 4/5] writeback, cgroup: support switching multiple inodes at once

[Roman Gushchin]

Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback
structure at once. That means to switch an inode a separate
inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate
rcu callback and work must be scheduled.

It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening
that often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to
release a writeback structure. To prepare for it, let's add a support
for switching multiple inodes at once.

Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context
will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode
pointers. inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode.
