[PATCH 004/102] xfs: reduce ioend latency

[Dave Chinner]

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch at infradead.org>

Upstream commit: fc0063c4474599b7a066ba76b90902abe21bc675

There is no reason to queue up ioends for processing in user context
unless we actually need it.  Just complete ioends that do not convert
unwritten extents or need a size update from the end_io context.
