xfs: introduce xfs_buf_submit[_wait]
There is a lot of cookie-cutter code that looks like: if (shutdown) handle buffer error xfs_buf_iorequest(bp) error = xfs_buf_iowait(bp) if (error) handle buffer error spread through XFS. There's significant complexity now in xfs_buf_iorequest() to specifically handle this sort of synchronous IO pattern, but there's all sorts of nasty surprises in different error handling code dependent on who owns the buffer references and the locks. Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the synchronous IO warts and hence make the error handling for all the callers much saner. This removes the need for a special extra reference to protect IO completion processing, as we can now hold a single reference across dispatch and waiting, simplifying the sync IO smeantics and error handling. In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users to be switched specifically to one interface or the other and removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It also means that xfs_buf_iowait() goes away.
