Looking further through the series I have to say I really hate
passing in the logsize instead of the log structure.  Passing the
log pointer from higher level functions just makes a lot more sense.

Also in this case passing the tail_lsn explicitly doesn't make any sense
- it becomes atomic later and thus there is no locking requirement for
it.

Same thing here - the calling convention would be a lot more regular
by still passing the log as first argument.

After the factoring I also think we could cut down on the amount of
wrappers in this area.  Just rename __xlog_grant_sub_space and
__xlog_grant_add_space to not have the __ prefix, and kill the wrappers
around it - they only have one or two callers, and just having two
helpers and passing the heads we're interested in is a lot simpler and
cleaner.
