Can we please use more descriptive check-in messages?

Remember, the description is what ends up in the git commit log and
so needs to include a summary of the problem and the fix that was
made. That way the it's easy see what changes were made when read
the git log without needed to look at diffs.

IOWs, the description should read:

"Fix a regression due to the refcache removal.

Some code in xfs_rwunlock() was accidentally removed
when removing the refcache. This results in inodes not
being properly unlocked and causes system hangs. Fixed
by reinstating the missing code."

Cheers,

Dave.
