The trylock log force invoked via xfs_buf_item_push() can attempt to acquire xa_lock, thus leading to a recursion bug when called with xa_lock held. This log force was originally added to xfs_buf_trylock() to address xfsaild stalls due to pinned and stale buffers. Since the addition of this behavior, the log item pushing code had been reworked to detect and track pinned items to inform xfsaild to issue a log force itself when necessary. As such, the log force on trylock failure is redundant and safe to remove.
