writeback, cgroup: remove wb from offline list before releasing refcnt
Boyang reported that the commit c22d70a162d3 ("writeback, cgroup:
release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes") causes the kernel to
crash while running xfstests generic/256 on ext4 on aarch64 and ppc64le.

The problem happens when cgwb_release_workfn() races with
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn(): wb_tryget() in
cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() can be called after percpu_ref_exit() is
cgwb_release_workfn(), which is basically a use-after-free error.
Fix the problem by making removing the writeback structure from the
offline list before releasing the percpu reference counter. It will
guarantee that cleanup_offline_cgwbs_workfn() will not see and not
access writeback structures which are about to be released.
