commit a4ca369ca221bb7e06c725792ac107f0e48e82e7 upstream.
Destructive writes to a block device on which nilfs2 is mounted can cause a kernel bug in the folio/page writeback start routine or writeback end routine (__folio_start_writeback in the log below):

This is because when the log writer starts a writeback for segment summary blocks or a super root block that use the backing device's page cache, it does not wait for the ongoing folio/page writeback, resulting in an inconsistent writeback state.
Fix this issue by waiting for ongoing writebacks when putting folios/pages on the backing device into writeback state.
