[XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying to push the inode it was currently unpinning. To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux inode to the xfs inode.
