writeback: Add asserts for adding freed inode to lists
In the past we had several use-after-free issues with inodes getting added to writeback lists after evict() removed them. These are painful to debug so add some asserts to catch the problem earlier. The only non-obvious change in the commit is that we need to tweak redirty_tail_locked() to avoid triggering assertion in inode_io_list_move_locked().
