xfs: xfs_iflush() is no longer necessary
Now we have a cached buffer on inode log items, we don't need to do buffer lookups when flushing inodes anymore - all we need to do is lock the buffer and we are ready to go. This largely gets rid of the need for xfs_iflush(), which is essentially just a mechanism to look up the buffer and flush the inode to it. Instead, we can just call xfs_iflush_cluster() with a few modifications to ensure it also flushes the inode we already hold locked. This allows the AIL inode item pushing to be almost entirely non-blocking in XFS - we won't block unless memory allocation for the cluster inode lookup blocks or the block device queues are full. Writeback during inode reclaim becomes a little more complex because we now have to lock the buffer ourselves, but otherwise this change is largely a functional no-op that removes a whole lot of code.
