xfs: copy li_lsn before dropping AIL lock
Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock;
this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit
li_lsn on a 32-bit platform. This patch fixes a couple places where we
were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit
machines.
This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if
xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at
least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle
number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless
CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to
processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space.
Thanks to Adrian VanderSpek for first spotting the race potential and to
Dave Chinner for debug assistance.
