[PATCH] xfs: drop iolock from reclaim context to appease lockdep

[Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com>]

Lockdep complains about use of the iolock in inode reclaim context
because it doesn't understand that reclaim has the last reference to
the inode, and thus an iolock->reclaim->iolock deadlock is not
possible.

The iolock is technically not necessary in xfs_inactive() and was
only added to appease an assert in xfs_free_eofblocks(), which can
be called from other non-reclaim contexts. Therefore, just kill the
assert and drop the use of the iolock from reclaim context to quiet
lockdep.
