<nod> I think it's the most straightforward option, but wanted to hear
someone else echo that.  Or tell me I'm a few cards short of a deck. :)

Yep.  I think the bjoin has to go before the "if (error) return error;".

Hm.  I thought we joined and logged the buffer to the first transaction,
which should clear the dirty state when the transaction commits (or
doesn't)?  Then we add the held buffer to the new transaction, but it's
clean, so it should just release...?  Maybe I need to add an error
injection knob to make rolling fail to see what happens...

We don't?  I would have thought:

	bip->bli_flags &= ~(XFS_BLI_LOGGED | XFS_BLI_HOLD | XFS_BLI_ORDERED);

would do that?  <shrug> Maybe I'm confused.

I don't think the caller has any good way of finding out, aside from
probing xfs_buf.b_transp == *tpp and there's a buffer log item and
XFS_BLI_HOLD is set, which is kind of gross...

bool xfs_buf_is_still_held_by_me_or_did_we_screw_up(xfs_buf_t *bp);

Yeah.  I think the error handling here (in quota) is simply wrong; that
ought to be "xfs_trans_brelse(*tpp, bp);" not a regular xfs_buf_relse.
