writeback: laptop_mode_timer_fn() needs rcu_read_lock() around bdi_writeback iteration
laptop_mode_timer_fn() was using bdi_for_each_wb() without the required RCU locking leading to the following warning. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at include/linux/backing-dev.h:415 laptop_mode_timer_fn+0x106/0x170() ... Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff81480cdc>] dump_stack+0x4e/0x82 [<ffffffff81051912>] warn_slowpath_common+0x82/0xc0 [<ffffffff81051a0a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff8115f0e6>] laptop_mode_timer_fn+0x106/0x170 [<ffffffff810ca8e3>] call_timer_fn+0xb3/0x2f0 [<ffffffff810cad25>] run_timer_softirq+0x205/0x370 [<ffffffff81056854>] __do_softirq+0xd4/0x460 [<ffffffff81056d69>] irq_exit+0x89/0xa0 [<ffffffff8185a892>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x42/0x50 [<ffffffff81858a44>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x84/0x90 ... Fix it by adding rcu_read_lock() around the iteration.
