[019/197] xfs: Avoid inodes in reclaim when flushing from inode cache

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>

commit 018027be90a6946e8cf3f9b17b5582384f7ed117 upstream

The reclaim code will handle flushing of dirty inodes before reclaim
occurs, so avoid them when determining whether an inode is a
candidate for flushing to disk when walking the radix trees.  This
is based on a test patch from Christoph Hellwig.
