linux-next: manual merge of the block tree with the ext4 tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi Jens,

Today's linux-next merge of the block tree got a conflict in
fs/fs-writeback.c between commit 74ba19abbeae ("vfs: add support for a
lazytime mount option") from the ext4 tree and commit 9c6ac78eb352
("writeback: fix a subtle race condition in I_DIRTY clearing") from the
block tree.

I fixed it up (maybe, please check - see below) and can carry the fix
as necessary (no action is required).
