xfs: use bios directly to write log buffers
Currently the XFS logging code uses the xfs_buf structure and associated APIs to write the log buffers to disk. This requires various special cases in the log code and is generally not very optimal. Instead of using a buffer just allocate a kmem_alloc_larger region for each log buffer, and use a bio and bio_vec array embedded in the iclog structure to write the buffer to disk. This also allows for using the bio split and chaining case to deal with the case of a log buffer wrapping around the end of the log.
