Subject: [PATCH 4.9 65/78] xfs: remove unnecessary dirty bli format check for ordered bufs

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

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

From: Brian Foster <bfoster@...hat.com>

commit 6453c65d3576bc3e602abb5add15f112755c08ca upstream.

xfs_buf_item_unlock() historically checked the dirty state of the
buffer by manually checking the buffer log formats for dirty
segments. The introduction of ordered buffers invalidated this check
because ordered buffers have dirty bli's but no dirty (logged)
segments. The check was updated to accommodate ordered buffers by
looking at the bli state first and considering the blf only if the
bli is clean.

This logic is safe but unnecessary. There is no valid case where the
bli is clean yet the blf has dirty segments. The bli is set dirty
whenever the blf is logged (via xfs_trans_log_buf()) and the blf is
cleared in the only place BLI_DIRTY is cleared (xfs_trans_binval()).

Remove the conditional blf dirty checks and replace with an assert
that should catch any discrepencies between bli and blf dirty
states. Refactor the old blf dirty check into a helper function to
be used by the assert.
