[PATCH 01/13] buffer: switch do_emergency_thaw() away from pdflush_operation()

[Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>]

This is (again) a preparatory patch similar to commit
a2a9537ac0b37a5da6fbe7e1e9cb06c524d2a9c4. It open codes a simple
async way of executing do_thaw_all() out of context, so we can get
rid of pdflush.
