Subject: [PATCH 4.14 93/95] xfs: Correctly invert xfs_buftarg LRU isolation logic

From: Vratislav Bendel <vbendel@...hat.com>

commit 19957a181608d25c8f4136652d0ea00b3738972d upstream.

Due to an inverted logic mistake in xfs_buftarg_isolate()
the xfs_buffers with zero b_lru_ref will take another trip
around LRU, while isolating buffers with non-zero b_lru_ref.

Additionally those isolated buffers end up right back on the LRU
once they are released, because b_lru_ref remains elevated.

Fix that circuitous route by leaving them on the LRU
as originally intended.
