writeback: skip new or to-be-freed inodes

1) I_FREEING tests should be coupled with I_CLEAR

The two I_FREEING tests are racy because clear_inode() can set i_state to
I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING.

2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible
   races with generic_forget_inode()

generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so
generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races:

  generic_forget_inode
    inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE;
    spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
                                       generic_sync_sb_inodes()
                                         spin_lock(&inode_lock);
                                         __iget(inode);
                                         __writeback_single_inode
                                           // see non zero i_count
 may WARN here ==>                         WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE);
                                         spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
 may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode);

The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds
the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns
early.  But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will
guarantee that.  So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.
