[XFS] Convert l_flushsema to a sv_t
The l_flushsema doesn't exactly have completion semantics, nor mutex semantics. It's used as a list of tasks which are waiting to be notified that a flush has completed. It was also being used in a way that was potentially racy, depending on the semaphore implementation. By using a sv_t instead of a semaphore we avoid the need for a separate counter, since we know we just need to wake everything on the queue. Original waitqueue implementation from Matthew Wilcox. Cleanup and conversion to sv_t by Christoph Hellwig.
