[PATCH] fix __writeback_single_inode WARN_ON 

When the inode count is zero in inode writeback, the

	WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE));

is broken, and needs to test for either I_WILL_FREE|I_FREEING.

When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility
of the vm so it can't be freed so it doesn't require the __iget and the
generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel
fs callback during the last iput. So the inode being in I_FREEING is
also a valid condition for calling the sync with i_count == 0.

The specific stack trace is this:
