xfs: remove bli from AIL before release on transaction abort

Browse Source 
When a buffer is modified, logged and committed, it ultimately ends
up sitting on the AIL with a dirty bli waiting for metadata
writeback. If another transaction locks and invalidates the buffer
(freeing an inode chunk, for example) in the meantime, the bli is
flagged as stale, the dirty state is cleared and the bli remains in
the AIL.

If a shutdown occurs before the transaction that has invalidated the
buffer is committed, the transaction is ultimately aborted. The log
items are flagged as such and ->iop_unlock() handles the aborted
items. Because the bli is clean (due to the invalidation),
->iop_unlock() unconditionally releases it. The log item may still
reside in the AIL, however, which means the I/O completion handler
may still run and attempt to access it. This results in assert
failure due to the release of the bli while still present in the AIL
and a subsequent NULL dereference and panic in the buffer I/O
completion handling. This can be reproduced by running generic/388
in repetition.

To avoid this problem, update xfs_buf_item_unlock() to first check
whether the bli is aborted and if so, remove it from the AIL before
it is released. This ensures that the bli is no longer accessed
during the shutdown sequence after it has been freed.
