Now that AGFL block frees can be deferred when dfops is carried through to the allocator via the transaction, we want to start deferring AGFL block frees from the contexts that are known to stress existing log reservations. The first such context is deferred operation processing itself. This primarily targets deferred extent frees (such as file extents and inode chunks), but in doing so covers all allocation operations that occur in deferred operation processing context. Update xfs_defer_finish() to set and reset ->t_dfops across the finish sequence. This means that any AGFL block frees due to allocation events result in the addition of new EFIs to the dfops rather than being processed immediately. xfs_defer_finish() rolls the transaction at least once more to process the frees of the AGFL blocks back to the allocation btrees and returns once the AGFL is rectified. XXX: cache/reset old_dfops rather than NULL?
