Looks ok, although avoiding the clean variable would be even better:

	for (i = 0; i < bip->bli_format_count; i++) {
		if (!xfs_bitmap_empty(bip->bli_formats[i].blf_data_map,
				      bip->bli_formats[i].blf_map_size)) {
			atomic_dec(&bip->bli_refcount);
			goto out;
		}
	}

	xfs_buf_item_relse(bp);
out:

bu that might be getting a bit too much into bikeshedding.

What I'm worried more about is how we semi-duplicate this bli_refcount
decrement vs xfs_buf_item_relse in xfs_trans_brelse, but use the
xfs_buf_item_dirty (aka XFS_BLI_DIRTY) check there instead.


It seems like the proper fix might be to:

 - only set XFS_BLI_DIRTY in xfs_buf_item_log if we actually set
   any bits in a bitmap
 - use the XFS_BLI_DIRTY check in xfs_buf_item_unlock as well
 - kill the useless xfs_buf_item_dirty wrapper

Probably both of these aren't worth doing it for now as we'll need to
get fixes into Linus tree quickly, so:
