Subject: [43/53] xfs: fix error handling for synchronous writes

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>

If removed storage while synchronous buffer write underway,
"xfslogd" hangs.

Detailed log http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2011-07/msg00740.html

"xfs: fix error handling for synchronous writes"

Given that xfs_bwrite actually does the shutdown already after
waiting for the b_iodone completion and given that we actually
found that calling xfs_force_shutdown from inside
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks was a major contributor the problem
it better to drop this call.
