Andrew Morton 1b43ef91d4 writeback: fix comment, use helper function
There's a comment in there which claims that the inode is left on s_io
if nfs chickened out of writing some data.

But that's not been true for three years.
9290280ced13c85689adeffa587e9a53bd3a5873 fixed a livelock by moving these
inodes back onto s_dirty.  Fix the comment.

In the second leg of the `if', use redirty_tail() rather than open-coding it.

Add weaselly comment indicating lack of confidence in the code and lack of the
fortitude which would be needed to fiddle with it.
