Subject: [GIT PULL] XFS update for 3.0-rc7

Linus, please pull the following XFS fix in for 3.0-rc7 (or final).

Previously, a dubious trick was used to avoid a race involving
inodes in the active item list.  This fix is pretty simple, and the
result is a much cleaner and more direct (and reliable) solution to
the problem.

It looks like I missed the last -next build for a while.  But I have
done a merge of my branch with your current master branch (shown
below).  The result has no conflicts and builds and tests just fine.

Thank you.
