block: Fix oops in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
When block device is closed, we call inode_detach_wb() in __blkdev_put() which sets inode->i_wb to NULL. That is contrary to expectations that inode->i_wb stays valid once set during the whole inode's lifetime and leads to oops in wb_get() in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() because inode_to_wb() returned NULL. The reason why we called inode_detach_wb() is not valid anymore though. BDI is guaranteed to stay along until we call bdi_put() from bdev_evict_inode() so we can postpone calling inode_detach_wb() to that moment. Also add a warning to catch if someone uses inode_detach_wb() in a dangerous way.
