At unmount time, XFS emits an alert for every in-core buffer that might have undergone a write error. In practice this behavior is probably reasonable given that the filesystem is likely short lived once I/O errors begin to occur consistently. Under certain test or otherwise expected error conditions, this can spam the logs and slow down the unmount. Now that we have a ratelimit mechanism specifically for buffer alerts, reuse it for the per-buffer alerts in xfs_wait_buftarg(). Also lift the final repair message out of the loop so it always prints and assert that the metadata error handling code has shut down the fs.
