[XFS] Per iclog callback chain lock
Rather than use the icloglock for protecting the iclog completion callback
chain, use a new per-iclog lock so that walking the callback chain doesn't
require holding a global lock.
This reduces contention on the icloglock during transaction commit and log
I/O completion by reducing the number of times we need to hold the global
icloglock during these operations.
