xfs: reduce the number of CIL lock round trips during commit 



When commiting a transaction, we do a lock CIL state lock round trip
on every single log vector we insert into the CIL. This is resulting
in the lock being as hot as the inode and dcache locks on 8-way
create workloads. Rework the insertion loops to bring the number
of lock round trips to one per transaction for log vectors, and one
more do the busy extents.

Also change the allocation of the log vector buffer not to zero it
as we copy over the entire allocated buffer anyway.

This patch also includes a structural cleanup to the CIL item
insertion provided by Christoph Hellwig.
