This means we now nest pag->pag_buf_lock and bp->b_lock inside
ailp->xa_lock.  I couldn't find any place where we take
it in a different order, but it makes me feel a little nervous.

Also I think the set/clear failed helper might better be out of line
instead of bloating the callers.

Except for that the patch looks fine to me.
