writeback, cgroup: fix premature wb_put() in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() wb_get()'s the wb associated with the target inode, unlocks inode, locks the wb's list_lock and verifies that the inode is still associated with the wb. To prevent the wb going away between dropping inode lock and acquiring list_lock, the wb is pinned while inode lock is held. The wb reference is put right after acquiring list_lock citing that the wb won't be dereferenced anymore. This isn't true. If the inode is still associated with the wb, the inode has reference and it's safe to return the wb; however, if inode has been switched, the wb still needs to be unlocked which is a dereference and can lead to use-after-free if it it races with wb destruction. Fix it by putting the reference after releasing list_lock.
