xfs: Do background CIL flushes via a workqueue

Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever
async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async
transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete,
move the CIL push off into a workqueue. By moving the push work
into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds
from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that
single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving
them more CPU to do more async transactions.

To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have
pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits
attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that
we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a
time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write
mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces
lock contention.

To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the
workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly
so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log
force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling
incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

xfs: implement freezing by emptying the AIL

Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through
the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of
emptying the AIL.

The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward:
A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the
end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will
then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so
until the AIL is compeltely empty.

We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having
memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the
filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This
means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze.

As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback
and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

[ Dave Chinner:
- Cleaned up commit message.
- Added inode reclaim passes back into freeze.
- Cleaned up wakeup mechanism to avoid the use of a new
sleep counter variable. ]

xfs: use per-filesystem I/O completion workqueues

The new concurrency managed workqueues are cheap enough that we can create
per-filesystem instead of global workqueues. This allows us to remove the
trylock or defer scheme on the ilock, which is not helpful once we have
outstanding log reservations until finishing a size update.

Also allow the default concurrency on this workqueues so that I/O completions
blocking on the ilock for one inode do not block process for another inode.
