vfs: conditionally call inode_wb_list_del()
Some inodes (pipes, sockets, ...) are not in bdi writeback list. evict() can avoid calling inode_wb_list_del() and its expensive spinlock by checking inode i_wb_list being empty or not. At this point, no other cpu/user can concurrently manipulate this inode i_wb_list Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
