Subject: xfs: use per-filesystem I/O completion workqueues
commit 77d7a0c "xfs: Non-blocking inode locking in IO completion" introduced
a trylocked and defer scheme in xfs_setfilesize to avoid deadlocks when on
XFS filesystem is used ontop of another using the loop device, and we
fsync in the loop filesystem.
Now that we have the cheap enough concurrency managed workqueues, we can
create per-filesystem instead of global workqueues and remove this scheme
again, given that it has the potential of delaying size updates and is not
helpful once we start to log the inode size.
