writeback: Avoid skipping inode writeback

Browse Source 
We have run into an issue that a task gets stuck in
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() when perform I/O stress testing.
The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots
of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background
writeback cannot writeback the inode.
After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead
to the issue:

task1                                   task2
-----                                   -----
fuse_flush
 write_inode_now //in b_dirty_time
  writeback_single_inode
   __writeback_single_inode
                                 fuse_write_end
                                  filemap_dirty_folio
                                   __xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
    lock inode->i_lock
    if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
    inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES
    unlock inode->i_lock
                                   __mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES
                                      lock inode->i_lock
                                      -was dirty,inode stays in
                                      -b_dirty_time
                                      unlock inode->i_lock

   if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All))
      -not true,so nothing done

This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode
currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of
writeback_single_inode.
