Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion
mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger. This can be caused by
page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following
race:
CPU0 CPU1
...
shrink_page_list()
__remove_mapping()
__delete_from_page_cache()
radix_tree_delete()
evict_inode()
truncate_inode_pages()
truncate_inode_pages_range()
pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing
end_writeback()
mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG
page->mapping = NULL
mapping->nrpages--
Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under
mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().
