The cause of the leak is that the "remove" parameter of IOP_UNPIN()
is never set when a CIL push is aborted. This means that the EFI
item is never freed if it was in the push being cancelled. The
problem is specific to delayed logging, but has uncovered a couple
of problems with the handling of IOP_UNPIN(remove).

Firstly, we cannot safely call xfs_trans_del_item() from IOP_UNPIN()
in the CIL commit failure path or the iclog write failure path
because for delayed loging we have no transaction context. Hence we
must only call xfs_trans_del_item() if the log item being unpinned
has an active log item descriptor.

Secondly, xfs_trans_uncommit() does not handle log item descriptor
freeing during the traversal of log items on a transaction. It can
reference a freed log item descriptor when unpinning an EFI item.
Hence it needs to use a safe list traversal method to allow items to
be removed from the transaction during IOP_UNPIN().
