writeback: fix writeback_inodes_wb from writeback_inodes_sb

When we call writeback_inodes_wb from writeback_inodes_sb we always have
s_umount held, which currently makes the whole operation a no-op.

But if we are called to write out inodes for a specific superblock we always
have s_umount held, so replace the incorrect logic checking for WB_SYNC_ALL
which only worked by coincidence with the proper check for an explicit
superblock argument.
