Um, you don't start setting journal_info until the next patch, so this
means that someone who lands on this commit with git bisect will have a
xfs with broken logic.

Because this is the patch that changes where we set and restore NOFS
context, I think you have to introduce xfs_trans_context_swap here,
and not in the next patch.

I also think the _swap routine has to move the old NOFS state to the
new transaction's t_pflags, and then set NOFS in the old transaction's
t_pflags so that when we clear the context on the old transaction we
don't actually change the thread's NOFS state.
