xfs: fix race while discarding buffers [V4]

While xfs_buftarg_shrink() is freeing buffers from the dispose list (filled with
buffers from lru list), there is a possibility to have xfs_buf_stale() racing
with it, and removing buffers from dispose list before xfs_buftarg_shrink() does
it.

This happens because xfs_buftarg_shrink() handle the dispose list without
locking and the test condition in xfs_buf_stale() checks for the buffer being in
*any* list:

if (!list_empty(&bp->b_lru))

If the buffer happens to be on dispose list, this causes the buffer counter of
lru list (btp->bt_lru_nr) to be decremented twice (once in xfs_buftarg_shrink()
and another in xfs_buf_stale()) causing a wrong account usage of the lru list.

This may cause xfs_buftarg_shrink() to return a wrong value to the memory
shrinker shrink_slab(), and such account error may also cause an underflowed
value to be returned; since the counter is lower than the current number of
items in the lru list, a decrement may happen when the counter is 0, causing
an underflow on the counter.

The fix uses a new flag field (and a new buffer flag) to serialize buffer
handling during the shrink process. The new flag field has been designed to use
btp->bt_lru_lock/unlock instead of xfs_buf_lock/unlock mechanism.

dchinner, sandeen, aquini and aris also deserve credits for this.
