Rework of how xfs syncs metadata to disk. This has a number of
benefits: We no longer walk the list of all the inodes in the
filesystem everytime the write_super is called. If you type
sync and then reset the box then everything is definitely
recovered afterwards. We remove a lot of calls to
mark_inode_dirty which did not really do us any good, and
replace them with a single one which does. kupdated does
less work in xfs now, freeing it to do other things.
Finally, get the dummy log record code working, this
means that after a period of inactivity with everything
on disk, we clean the log so that recovery does not
have any work to do.
remove all mark_inode_dirty_sync calls, they were all on inodes
which were being logged, the inode is only flushable after the
log hits the disk.
