writeback, cgroup: support switching multiple inodes at once

Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback
structure at once.  That means to switch an inode a separate
inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate rcu
callback and work must be scheduled.

It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening that
often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to release
a writeback structure.  To prepare for it, let's add a support for
switching multiple inodes at once.

Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context
will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode pointers.
inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode.

To optimize the locking bdi->wb_switch_rwsem, old_wb's and new_wb's
list_locks will be acquired and released only once altogether for all
inodes.  wb_wakeup() will be also be called only once.  Instead of calling
wb_put(old_wb) after each successful switch, wb_put_many() is introduced
and used.
