[PATCH] xfs: simplify inode teardown

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>]

Currently the reclaim code for the case where we don't reclaim the final
reclaim is overly complicated.  We know that the inode is clean but instead
of just directly reclaiming the clean inode we go through the whole
process of marking the inode reclaimable just to directly reclaim it
from the calling context.  Besides beeing overly complicated this introduces
a race where iget could recycle an inode between marked reclaimable and
actually beeing reclaimed leading to panics.

This patch gets rid of the existing reclaim path, and replaces it with a
simple call to xfs_ireclaim if the inode was clean.  While we're at it
we also use the slightly more lax xfs_inode_clean check we'd use later
to determine if we need to flush the inode here.

Finally get rid of xfs_reclaim function and place the remaining small
bits of reclaim code directly into xfs_fs_destroy_inode.
