nilfs2: fix null pointer dereference at nilfs_segctor_do_construct()
After commit c3aab9a0bd91 ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if
mapping has no dirty pages"), the following null pointer dereference has
been reported on nilfs2:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000a8
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
...
RIP: 0010:percpu_counter_add_batch+0xa/0x60
...
Call Trace:
__test_set_page_writeback+0x2d3/0x330
nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0x10d3/0x2110 [nilfs2]

nilfs_segctor_thread+0x127/0x3b0 [nilfs2]
kthread+0xf8/0x130
...
This crash turned out to be caused by set_page_writeback() call for
segment summary buffers at nilfs_segctor_prepare_write().
set_page_writeback() can call inc_wb_stat(inode_to_wb(inode),
WB_WRITEBACK) where inode_to_wb(inode) is NULL if the inode of
underlying block device does not have an associated wb.
This fixes the issue by calling inode_attach_wb() in advance to ensure
to associate the bdev inode with its wb.
Fixes: c3aab9a0bd91 ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping has no dirty pages")
