xfs: buffer ->bi_end_io function requires irq-safe lock



Reports have surfaced of a lockdep splat complaining about an
irq-safe -> irq-unsafe locking order in the xfs_buf_bio_end_io() bio
completion handler. This only occurs when I/O errors are present
because bp->b_lock is only acquired in this context to protect
setting an error on the buffer. The problem is that this lock can be
acquired with the (request_queue) q->queue_lock held. See
scsi_end_request() or ata_qc_schedule_eh(), for example.

Replace the locked test/set of b_io_error with a cmpxchg() call.
This eliminates the need for the lock and thus the lock ordering
problem goes away.
