    GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_trans · 16ca9412

    In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
    time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
    list code into the gfs2_trans structure.  As a first step toward this,
    this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
    list in the gfs_trans structure.  This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
    structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
    to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
    structure.
    
    With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
    gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
    This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
    gfs2_ail.  This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
    simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
    journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.
    
    Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
    removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
    sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
    transaction.
