The current transaction allocation code conditionally initializes the ->t_dfops indirection pointer. Transaction commit/cancel check the validity of the pointer to determine whether to finish/cancel the internal dfops. This disallows the ability to use the internal dfops list as a temporary container (via xfs_trans_alloc_empty()). Refactor transaction allocation to always initialize ->t_dfops and check permanent reservation state on transaction commit/cancel.
