Now that we have metadata counters in the VM, we need to provide a way to kick
writeback on dirty metadata.  Introduce super_operations->write_metadata.  This
allows file systems to deal with writing back any dirty metadata we need based
on the writeback needs of the system.  Since there is no inode to key off of we
need a list in the bdi for dirty super blocks to be added.  From there we can
find any dirty sb's on the bdi we are currently doing writeback on and call into
their ->write_metadata callback.

This generally looks fine. Just two comments below.

It seems superblock never gets out of dirty list this way? Also this series
misses where a superblock is added to the dirty list which is confusing.

Verify that the superblock isn't in the dirty list here?

Yeah this is one part I'm less enthusiastic about.  You have to manually add
your super block to the bdi if you want to use this functionality, and then we
use the WB_METADATA_DIRTY counter to see if we even need to do writeback on that
sb.  It's more of "writeback_sb_metadata_will_work_on_this_sb_list", less like
the dirty inode list.  If you look at the btrfs patch I add the sb to our
dirty_sb_list during mount.
