[PATCH 01/11] xfs: force the log before shutting down

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

When we have marked the filesystem for shutdown, we want to prevent
any further buffer IO from being submitted. However, we currently
force the log after marking the filesystem as shut down, hence
allowing IO to the log *after* we have marked both the filesystem
and the log as in an error state.

Clean this up by forcing the log before we mark the filesytem with
an error. This replaces the pure CIL flush that we currently have
which works around this same issue (i.e the CIL can't be flushed
once the shutdown flags are set) and hence enables us to clean up
the logic substantially.
