mm: fix assertion mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback()

Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion
mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger.  This can be caused by
page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following
race:

	CPU0				CPU1
  ...
  shrink_page_list()
    __remove_mapping()
      __delete_from_page_cache()
        radix_tree_delete()
					evict_inode()
					  truncate_inode_pages()
					    truncate_inode_pages_range()
					      pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing
					  end_writeback()
					    mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG
        page->mapping = NULL
        mapping->nrpages--

Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under
mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().
