When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it
are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so,
if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to
disk and never unlocked.
This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL,
but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when
the IO device comes back to normal.
I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a
filesystem larger than the real device.
When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC
errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry
forever' configuration is set).
At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked
items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all
(once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked),
even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size.
This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed
previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

V2:
- Fix XFS_LI_FAILED flag removal
- Use atomic operations to set and clear XFS_LI_FAILED flag
- Remove check for XBF_WRITE_FAIL in xfs_inode_item_push
- Add more comments to the code
- Add a helper function to resubmit the failed buffers, so this
can be also used in dquot system without duplicating code
V3:
- kill xfs_imap_to_bp call using a pointer in the log item to
hold the buffer address
- use xa_lock instead of atomic operations to handle log item
flags
- Add a hold to the buffer for each log item failed
- move buffer resubmission up in xfs_inode_item_push()
V4:
- Remove bflags argument from iop_error callback
- Remove ip argument from xfs_buf_resubmit_failed_buffers
- Use helpers to set/clear XFS_LI_FAILED flag
- remove ->xa_lock from the iop->error callback and move it up
on the stack, so all log items are processed into a single
pair of lock/unlock
