xfs: fix shutdown hang on invalid inode during create

When the new inode verify in xfs_iread() fails, the create
transaction is aborted and a shutdown occurs. The subsequent unmount
then hangs in xfs_wait_buftarg() on a buffer that has an elevated
hold count. Debug showed that it was an AGI buffer getting stuck:

[   22.576147] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck
[   22.976213] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck
[   23.376206] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck
[   23.776325] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck

The trace of this buffer leading up to the shutdown (trimmed for
brevity) looks like:

xfs_buf_get:         bno 0x2 len 0x200 hold 1 caller xfs_buf_read_map

xfs_buf_hold:        bno 0x2 nblks 0x1 hold 2 caller xfs_buf_item_init
xfs_trans_read_buf:  bno 0x2 len 0x200 hold 3 recur 0 refcount 1
xfs_trans_log_buf:   bno 0x2 len 0x200 hold 3 recur 0 refcount 1
xfs_buf_item_unlock: bno 0x2 len 0x200 hold 3 flags DIRTY liflags ABORTED

xfs_buf_rele:        bno 0x2 nblks 0x1 hold 3 caller xfs_buf_item_unlock

And that is the AGI buffer from cold cache read into memory to
transaction abort. You can see at transaction abort the bli is dirty
and only has a single reference. The item is not pinned, and it's
not in the AIL. Hence the only reference to it is this transaction.

The problem is that the xfs_buf_item_unlock() call is dropping the
last reference to the xfs_buf_log_item attached to the buffer (which
holds a reference to the buffer), but it is not freeing the
xfs_buf_log_item. Hence nothing will ever release the buffer, and
the unmount hangs waiting for this reference to go away.

The fix is simple - xfs_buf_item_unlock needs to detect the last
reference going away in this case and free the xfs_buf_log_item to
release the reference it holds on the buffer.
