Write back inode data pages even when the inode itself is locked

In __writeback_single_inode(), when we find a locked inode and we're not
doing a data-integrity sync, we used to just skip writing entirely,
since we didn't want to wait for the inode to unlock.

However, there's really no reason to skip writing the data pages, which
are likely to be the the bulk of the dirty state anyway (and the main
reason why writeback was started for the non-data-integrity case, of
course!)
