xfs: double link the unlinked inode list

Now we have forwards traversal via the incore inode in place, we now
need to add back pointers to the incore inode to entirely replace
the back reference cache. We use the same lookup semantics and
constraints as for the forwards pointer lookups during unlinks, and
so we can look up any inode in the unlinked list directly and update
the list pointers, forwards or backwards, at any time.

The only wrinkle in converting the unlinked list manipulations to
use in-core previous pointers is that log recovery doesn't have the
incore inode state built up so it can't just read in an inode and
release it to finish off the unlink. Hence we need to modify the
traversal in recovery to read one inode ahead before we
release the inode at the head of the list. This populates the
next->prev relationship sufficient to be able to replay the unlinked
list and hence greatly simplify the runtime code.

This recovery algorithm also requires that we actually remove inodes
from the unlinked list one at a time as background inode
inactivation will result in unlinked list removal racing with the
building of the in-memory unlinked list state. We could serialise
this by holding the AGI buffer lock when constructing the in memory
state, but all that does is lockstep background processing with list
building. It is much simpler to flush the inodegc immediately after
releasing the inode so that it is unlinked immediately and there is
no races present at all.
