writeback, cgroup: increment isw_nr_in_flight before grabbing an inode
isw_nr_in_flight is used to determine whether the inode switch queue should be flushed from the umount path. Currently it's increased after grabbing an inode and even scheduling the switch work. It means the umount path can walk past cleanup_offline_cgwb() with active inode references, which can result in a "Busy inodes after unmount." message and use-after-free issues (with inode->i_sb which gets freed). Fix it by incrementing isw_nr_in_flight before doing anything with the inode and decrementing in the case when switching wasn't scheduled. The problem hasn't yet been seen in the real life and was discovered by Jan Kara by looking into the code.
