Similar to wb stat updates, inode_congested() accesses the associated wb of an inode locklessly, which will break with foreign inode wb switching. This path updates inode_congested() to use unlocked inode wb access transaction introduced by the previous patch.
Combined with the previous two patches, this makes all wb list and access operations to be protected by either of inode->i_lock, wb->list_lock, or mapping->tree_lock while wb switching is in progress.
