On a system with lots of memory pressure that is stuck on synchronous inode
reclaim the workqueue code will run one instance of the inode reclaim work
item on every CPU. which is not what we want. Make sure to mark the
xfssyncd workqueue as non-reentrant to make sure there only is one instace
of each running globally. Also stop using special paramater for the
workqueue; now that we guarantee each fs has only running one of each works
at a time there is no need to artificially lower max_active and compensate
for that by setting the WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE flag.

Now that we can't have any dirty dquots around that aren't in the AIL we
can get rid of the explicit dquot syncing from xfssyncd and xfs_fs_sync_fs
and instead rely on AIL pushing to write out any quota updates.

The delaylog mode has been the default for a long time, and the nodelaylog
option has been scheduled for removal in Linux 3.3. Remove it and code
only used by it now that we have opened the 3.3 window.

Resolved conflicts:
fs/xfs/xfs_trans_priv.h:
- deleted struct xfs_ail field xa_flags
- kept field xa_log_flush in struct xfs_ail
fs/xfs/xfs_trans_ail.c:
- in xfsaild_push(), in XFS_ITEM_PUSHBUF case, replaced
"flush_log = 1" with "ailp->xa_log_flush++"

There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock
it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between
the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref
back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock
is needed now.
I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked
at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real
benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a
synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the
log force manually after the unlock, too.

We now have an i_dio_count filed and surrounding infrastructure to wait
for direct I/O completion instead of i_icount, and we have never needed
to iocount waits for buffered I/O given that we only set the page uptodate
after finishing all required work. Thus remove i_iocount, and replace
the actually needed waits with calls to inode_dio_wait.

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:
- it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
in the system.
- it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
work items
At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.
Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

Currently we always redirty an inode that was attempted to be written out
synchronously but has been cleaned by an AIL pushed internall, which is
rather bogus. Fix that by doing the i_update_core check early on and
return 0 for it. Also include async calls for it, as doing any work for
those is just as pointless. While we're at it also fix the sign for the
EIO return in case of a filesystem shutdown, and fix the completely
non-sensical locking around xfs_log_inode.

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
