Do not transfer a reference held by the caller to the buffer on the list, or decrement it in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, but instead grab a new reference if needed, and let the caller drop its own reference. Also move setting of the XBF_DELWRI and XBF_ASYNC flags into xfs_buf_delwri_queue, and only do it if needed. Note that for now xfs_buf_unlock already has XBF_DELWRI, but that will change in the following patches.
