Subject[PATCH 1/8] writeback: get rid of generic_sync_sb_inodes() export
Date
This adds two new exported functions:

- writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on
this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout.
- sync_inodes_sbt(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block
and also waits for the IO to complete.
