buffer: switch do_emergency_thaw() away from pdflush_operation()
This is (again) a preparatory patch similar to commit a2a9537ac0b37a5da6fbe7e1e9cb06c524d2a9c4. It open codes a simple async way of executing do_thaw_all() out of context, so we can get rid of pdflush. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
