generic/642 triggered a reproducable assert failure in
xlog_cil_commit() that resulted from a xfs_attr_set() committing
an empty but dirty transaction. When the CIL is empty and this
occurs, xlog_cil_commit() tries a background push and this triggers
a "pushing an empty CIL" assert.

XFS: Assertion failed: !list_empty(&cil->xc_cil), file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_cil.c, line: 1274

The problem is related to the breakdown of attribute addition in
xfs_attr_set_iter() and how it is called from deferred operations.
When we have a pure leaf xattr insert, we add the xattr to the leaf
and set the next state to XFS_DAS_FOUND_LBLK and return -EAGAIN.
This requeues the xattr defered work, rolls the transaction and
runs xfs_attr_set_iter() again. This then checks the xattr for
being remote (it's not) and whether a replace op is being done (this
is a create op) and if neither are true it returns without having
done anything.

xfs_xattri_finish_update() then unconditionally sets the transaction
dirty, and the deferops finishes and returns to __xfs_trans_commit()
which sees the transaction dirty and tries to commit it by calling
xlog_cil_commit(). The transaction is empty, and then the assert
fires if this happens when the CIL is empty.

This patch addresses the structure of xfs_attr_set_iter() that
requires re-entry on leaf add even when nothing will be done. This
gets rid of the trailing empty transaction and so doesn't trigger
the XFS_TRANS_DIRTY assignment in xfs_xattri_finish_update()
incorrectly. Addressing that is for a different patch.
