This is a clean up patch that skips the flip flag logic for delayed attr

worry about race windows with attr lookups. So we can skip over

RFC: In the last review, folks asked for some performance analysis, so I
did a few perf captures with and with out this patch. What I found was
that there wasnt very much difference at all between having the patch or
not having it. Of the time we do spend in the affected code, the
percentage is small. Most of the time we spend about %0.03 of the time
in this function, with or with out the patch. Occasionally we get a
0.02%, though not often. So I think this starts to challenge needing
this patch at all. This patch was requested some number of reviews ago,
be perhaps in light of the findings, it may no longer be of interest.

More nitpicking: this should be gated directly on the log incompat
feature check, not the LARP knob...
I think they're equivelent functionally right now. Looking forward, if
we assume that the knob will one day disappear, it might be a good idea
to leave it wrapping any code that would disappear along with it. Just
as a sort of reminder to clean it out.
So for example, if we ever decide that delayed attrs are just alway on,
this whole chunk could just go away with it. OTOTH, if there is an
internal need to run attrs without the logging, it would make sense to
check the feature bit here, as this code would still be needed even when
the knob is gone.
So i guess this is a question of what we think we will need in the future?

Why is this removed from the query arguments? If we're going to skip
the INCOMPLETE flag dance, I would have thought that you'd change the
XFS_DAS_CLR_FLAG case to omit xfs_attr_node_addname_clear_incomplete if
the logged xattr feature is set?
