bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()
A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus
different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch
the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be
dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in
that it reaches into bdi internals.
This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode
if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without
exposing bdi internals.
