From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> inode_to_wb() is used also for filesystems that don't support cgroup writeback. For these filesystems inode->i_wb is stable during the lifetime of the inode (it points to bdi->wb) and there's no need to hold locks protecting the inode->i_wb dereference. Improve the warning in inode_to_wb() to not trigger for these filesystems.
