writeback, cgroup: remove wb from offline list before releasing refcnt
Boyang reported that the commit c22d70a162d3 ("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. run fstests generic/256 at 2021-07-12 05:41:40 EXT4-fs (vda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

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.
