Brian Foster 95808459b1 xfs: refactor xfs_buf_log_item reference count handling
The xfs_buf_log_item structure has a reference counter with slightly
tricky semantics. In the common case, a buffer is logged and
committed in a transaction, committed to the on-disk log (added to
the AIL) and then finally written back and removed from the AIL. The
bli refcount covers two potentially overlapping timeframes:

 1. the bli is held in an active transaction
 2. the bli is pinned by the log

The caveat to this approach is that the reference counter does not
purely dictate the lifetime of the bli. IOW, when a dirty buffer is
physically logged and unpinned, the bli refcount may go to zero as
the log item is inserted into the AIL. Only once the buffer is
written back can the bli finally be freed.

The above semantics means that it is not enough for the various
refcount decrementing contexts to release the bli on decrement to
zero. xfs_trans_brelse(), transaction commit (->iop_unlock()) and
unpin (->iop_unpin()) must all drop the associated reference and
make additional checks to determine if the current context is
responsible for freeing the item.

For example, if a transaction holds but does not dirty a particular
bli, the commit may drop the refcount to zero. If the bli itself is
clean, it is also not AIL resident and must be freed at this time.
The same is true for xfs_trans_brelse(). If the transaction dirties
a bli and then aborts or an unpin results in an abort due to a log
I/O error, the last reference count holder is expected to explicitly
remove the item from the AIL and release it (since an abort means
filesystem shutdown and metadata writeback will never occur).

This leads to fairly complex checks being replicated in a few
different places. Since ->iop_unlock() and xfs_trans_brelse() are
nearly identical, refactor the logic into a common helper that
implements and documents the semantics in one place. This patch does
not change behavior.
