Roman Gushchin b43a9e76b4 writeback, cgroup: remove wb from offline list before releasing refcnt 
Boyang reported that the commit c22d70a162 ("writeback, cgroup:
release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes") causes the kernel to
crash while running xfstests generic/256 on ext4 on aarch64 and ppc64le.

The problem happens when cgwb_release_workfn() races with
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn(): wb_tryget() in
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() can be called after percpu_ref_exit() is
cgwb_release_workfn(), which is basically a use-after-free error.

Fix the problem by making removing the writeback structure from the
offline list before releasing the percpu reference counter.  It will
guarantee that cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() will not see and not
access writeback structures which are about to be released.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
