xfs: don't retry xfs_buf_find on XBF_TRYLOCK failure
When looking at an event trace recently, I noticed that non-blocking buffer lookup attempts would fail on cached locked buffers and then run the slow cache-miss path. This means we are doing an xfs_buf allocation, lookup and free unnecessarily every time we avoid blocking on a locked buffer. Fix this by changing _xfs_buf_find() to return an error status to the caller to indicate that we failed the lock attempt rather than just returning a NULL. This allows the higher level code to discriminate between a cache miss and an cache hit that we failed to lock. This also allows us to return a -EFSCORRUPTED state if we are asked to look up a block number outside the range of the filesystem in _xfs_buf_find(), which moves us one step closer to being able to handle such errors in a more graceful manner at the higher levels.
