_xfs_trans_commit already restores the process flags for an ENOMEM
return, so the failure from xfs_trans_alloc_log_vecs is already
handled correctly.  If we want to handle the EIO return from
xfs_log_commit_cil the same way it just needs to be turned into an
ENOMEM.  The big questions is if there's any point in having the
shutdown check in xfs_trans_commit_cil - we already do one just before
applying the trans deltas in _xfs_trans_commit, which is handled
correctly and should be sufficient.
