When an IO error happens during inode deletion run from
xlog_recover_process_iunlinks() filesystem gets shutdown. Thus any subsequent
attempt to read buffers fails. Code in xlog_recover_process_iunlinks() does not
count with the fact that read of a buffer which was read a while ago can
really fail which results in the oops on
agi = XFS_BUF_TO_AGI(agibp);
Fix the problem by cleaning up the buffer handling in
xlog_recover_process_iunlinks() as suggested by Dave Chinner. We release buffer
lock but keep buffer reference to AG buffer. That is enough for buffer stay
pinned in memory and we don't have to call xfs_read_agi() all the time.

Last time I sent this patch as a reply to Dave's email and apparently the
patch didn't catch the attention. So I'm resending it now.
