This patch modifies the attr remove routines to be delay ready. This
means they no longer roll or commit transactions, but instead return
-EAGAIN to have the calling routine roll and refresh the transaction. In
this series, xfs_attr_remove_args is merged with
xfs_attr_node_removename become a new function, xfs_attr_remove_iter.
This new version uses a sort of state machine like switch to keep track
of where it was when EAGAIN was returned. A new version of
xfs_attr_remove_args consists of a simple loop to refresh the
transaction until the operation is completed. A new XFS_DAC_DEFER_FINISH
flag is used to finish the transaction where ever the existing code used
to.

Calls to xfs_attr_rmtval_remove are replaced with the delay ready
version __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove. We will rename
__xfs_attr_rmtval_remove back to xfs_attr_rmtval_remove when we are
done.

xfs_attr_rmtval_remove itself is still in use by the set routines (used
during a rename).  For reasons of preserving existing function, we
modify xfs_attr_rmtval_remove to call xfs_defer_finish when the flag is
set.  Similar to how xfs_attr_remove_args does here.  Once we transition
the set routines to be delay ready, xfs_attr_rmtval_remove is no longer
used and will be removed.

This patch also adds a new struct xfs_delattr_context, which we will use
to keep track of the current state of an attribute operation. The new
xfs_delattr_state enum is used to track various operations that are in
progress so that we know not to repeat them, and resume where we left
off before EAGAIN was returned to cycle out the transaction. Other
members take the place of local variables that need to retain their
values across multiple function recalls.  See xfs_attr.h for a more
detailed diagram of the states.

Do we need the goto here if _removename_setup() frees state on error (or
is the latter change necessary)?
I think we can safely return here.  Will update

Also, can this fold into the above if (!da_state) branch? Or maybe the
whole setup branch pulled up into the UNINIT state? Not a big deal, but
it does look a little out of place in the RMTBLK state.
Sure, it should be ok, there isnt any EAGAINs here, so it shouldnt make a difference

I feel that the difference between a break and goto out might confuse
some of the error handling. Right now, it looks like the exit path
handles either scenario, so we could presumably do something like the
following at the end of the function:

	if (error != -EAGAIN && state)
		xfs_da_state_free(state);
	return error;

... and just ditch the label. Alternatively we could retain the label above
the state check, but just use it consistently throughout the function.

Either will work? I think I'd prefer the gotos over the breaks though, I just think it reads easier. The switch is sort of big, so I think the gotos make it a little more clear in that we're exiting the function without having to skim all the way to the bottom.

Other than those few nits, this one looks pretty good to me.
Great, will update.  Thanks!
