writeback: fix bad _bh spinlock nesting
Fix a bug where a lock is _bh nested within another _bh lock, but forgets to use the _bh variant for unlock. Further more, it's not necessary to test _bh locks, the inner lock can just use spin_lock(). So fix up the bug by making that change. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
