xfs: bypass final dfops roll in trans commit path
Once xfs_defer_finish() has completed all deferred operations, it
checks the dirty state of the transaction and rolls it once more to
return a clean transaction for the caller. This primarily to cover
the case where repeated xfs_defer_finish() calls are made in a loop
and we need to make sure that the caller starts the next iteration
with a clean transaction. Otherwise we risk transaction reservation
overrun.
This final transaction roll is not required in the transaction
commit path, however, because the transaction is immediately
committed and freed after dfops completion. Refactor the final roll
into a separate helper such that we can avoid it in the transaction
commit path. Lift the dfops reset as well so dfops remains valid
until after the last call to xfs_defer_trans_roll(). The reset is
also unnecessary in the transaction commit path because the
transaction is about to complete.
This eliminates unnecessary regrants of transactions where the
associated transaction roll can be replaced by a transaction commit.
