xfs: fix some log stalling problems in defer ops
This series tries to fix some structural problems in the defer ops code. Basically, we need to teach it to finish all the sub-work associated with each defer op that the caller gave us, to minimize the length of the defer ops chains; and then we need to teach it to relog items periodically to avoid pinning the log tail.
