The quotacheck error handling of the delwri buffer list assumes the
resident buffers are locked and doesn't clear the _XBF_DELWRI_Q flag
on the buffers that are dequeued. This can lead to assert failures
on buffer release and possibly other locking problems.
Move this code to a delwri queue cancel helper function to
encapsulate the logic required to properly release buffers from a
delwri queue. Update the helper to clear the delwri queue flag and
call it from quotacheck.

Reclaim during quotacheck can lead to deadlocks on the dquot flush
lock:
- Quotacheck populates a local delwri queue with the physical dquot
buffers.
- Quotacheck performs the xfs_qm_dqusage_adjust() bulkstat and
dirties all of the dquots.
- Reclaim kicks in and attempts to flush a dquot whose buffer is
already queud on the quotacheck queue. The flush succeeds but
queueing to the reclaim delwri queue fails as the backing buffer is
already queued. The flush unlock is now deferred to I/O completion
of the buffer from the quotacheck queue.
- The dqadjust bulkstat continues and dirties the recently flushed
dquot once again.
- Quotacheck proceeds to the xfs_qm_flush_one() walk which requires
the flush lock to update the backing buffers with the in-core
recalculated values. It deadlocks on the redirtied dquot as the
flush lock was already acquired by reclaim, but the buffer resides
on the local delwri queue which isn't submitted until the end of
quotacheck.
This is reproduced by running quotacheck on a filesystem with a
couple million inodes in low memory (512MB-1GB) situations. This is
a regression as of commit 43ff2122e6 ("xfs: on-stack delayed write
buffer lists"), which removed a trylock and buffer I/O submission
from the quotacheck dquot flush sequence.
Quotacheck first resets and collects the physical dquot buffers in a
delwri queue. Then, it traverses the filesystem inodes via bulkstat,
updates the in-core dquots, flushes the corrected dquots to the
backing buffers and finally submits the delwri queue for I/O. Since
the backing buffers are queued across the entire quotacheck
operation, dquot reclaim cannot possibly complete a dquot flush
before quotacheck completes.
Therefore, quotacheck must submit the buffer for I/O in order to
cycle the flush lock and flush the dirty in-core dquot to the
buffer. Add a delwri queue buffer push mechanism to submit an
individual buffer for I/O without losing the delwri queue status and
use it from quotacheck to avoid the deadlock. This restores
quotacheck behavior to as before the regression was introduced.
