bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()
A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in that it reaches into bdi internals. This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without exposing bdi internals.
