[PATCH 01/12] xfs: Don't reuse the same transaction ID for duplicated transactions.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

The transaction ID is written into the log as the unique identifier
for transactions during recover. When duplicating a transaction, we
reuse the log ticket, which means it has the same transaction ID as
the previous transaction.

Rather than regenerating a random transaction ID for the duplicated
transaction, just add one to the current ID so that duplicated
transaction can be easily spotted in the log and during recovery
during problem diagnosis.
