xfs_repair/libxfs has caches for xfs_bufs and inodes to speed things up.
cache_purge is trying to flush out all entries from one of those caches.  After
the purge one entry was left unexpectedly, maybe because someone leaked a
reference on it or something.  The message doesn't indicate an on-disk problem,
it's a problem in xfs_repair.
