Sooooo... I went and took another look at this, having realized that
xfs_da_args.dfops is a *pointer* to a dfops, not the dfops itself.
Subsequently we have a bunch of calls to:

xfs_defer_init(args->dfops, ...);

which AFAICT is careful enough that we always pair the init with a
_finish or a _cancel... but this is really gross behavior.  The da_args
creators will declare a separate dfops on the stack and set args.dfops
to the uninitialized dfops(!) and then the attr code blindly assumes
that it owns this dfops pointer and can therefore reinitialize it at
will.

That will need fixing.
