xfs: defered work could create precommits

To fix a AGI-AGF-inode cluster buffer deadlock, we need to move inode cluster buffer operations to the ->iop_precommit() method. However, this means that deferred operations can require precommits to be run on the final transaction that the deferred ops pass back to xfs_trans_commit() context. This will be exposed by attribute handling, in that the last changes to the inode in the attr set state machine "disappear" because the precommit operation is not run.
