[PATCH 0/3] serialize unmount against new buffer I/O

This is a rework of the directory readahead panic fix based on a buffer
I/O count mechanism. See [1] for the original patch and subsequent
discussion leading to the solution as constituted.

This is split into multiple patches simply to break out some refactoring
and special buffer exclusion from the accounting mechanism. This
prevents the original problem (xfs/311) as well as passes an initial
xfstests run.
