Ok. I'm hoping that a last step to embed ->t_dfops directly in the
transaction may clean up this ugly set/unset pattern a bit. What I'm
thinking is that a transaction roll would end up having to transfer
(splice) the pending dfops items from the current ->t_dfops to the new
one rather than simply copy the pointer. Some of the dfops code has to
become a bit more transaction centric to make sure we don't lose the
dfops pointer, but otherwise if we factor that into a little helper I
think that means these recovery functions would just have to do
something like:

	xfs_defer_move(&tp->t_dfops, dfops);

... before committing tp to collect all the deferred items in the dfops
from the caller. Otherwise, the transaction commit would actually run
xfs_defer_finish() itself if the associated dfops has pending work. I
haven't really dug into that yet, though, so there may be more issues to
consider (thoughts appreciated, if that triggers any for you).
