CVE-2021-47256

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/memory-failure: make sure wait for page writeback in memory_failure

Our syzkaller trigger the "BUG_ON(!list_empty(&inode->i_wb_list))" in
clear_inode:

  kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:519!

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

A crash dump of this problem show that someone called __munlock_pagevec
to clear page LRU without lock_page: do_mmap -> mmap_region -> do_munmap
-> munlock_vma_pages_range -> __munlock_pagevec.

As a result memory_failure will call identify_page_state without
wait_on_page_writeback.  And after truncate_error_page clear the mapping
of this page.  end_page_writeback won't call sb_clear_inode_writeback to
clear inode->i_wb_list.  That will trigger BUG_ON in clear_inode!

Fix it by checking PageWriteback too to help determine should we skip
wait_on_page_writeback.
