writeback: keep superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches

If cgroup writeback is in use, an inode is associated with a cgroup
for writeback.  If the inode's main dirtier changes to another cgroup,
the association gets updated asynchronously.  Nothing was pinning the
superblock while such switches are in progress and superblock could go
away while async switching is pending or in progress leading to
crashes like the following.

Fix it by bumping s_active while cgroup association switching is in
flight.
