writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()
We cannot safely ensure that the inodes are all gone at this point in time, and we must not destroy this bdi with inodes having off it. So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will always persist. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
