xfs: kill the b_strat callback in xfs_buf
The b_strat callback is used by xfs_buf_iostrategy to perform additional
checks before submitting a buffer. It is used in xfs_bwrite and when
writing out delayed buffers. In xfs_bwrite it we can de-virtualize the
call easily as b_strat is set a few lines above the call to
xfs_buf_iostrategy. For the delayed buffers the rationale is a bit
more complicated:
- there are three callers of xfs_buf_delwri_queue, which places buffers
on the delwri list:
(1) xfs_bdwrite - this sets up b_strat, so it's fine
(2) xfs_buf_iorequest. None of the callers can have XBF_DELWRI set:
- xlog_bdstrat is only used for log buffers, which are never delwri
- _xfs_buf_read explicitly clears the delwri flag
- xfs_buf_iodone_work retries log buffers only
- xfsbdstrat - only used for reads, superblock writes without the
delwri flag, log I/O and file zeroing with explicitly allocated
buffers.
- xfs_buf_iostrategy - only calls xfs_buf_iorequest if b_strat is
not set
(3) xfs_buf_unlock
- only puts the buffer on the delwri list if the DELWRI flag is
already set. The DELWRI flag is only ever set in xfs_bwrite,
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, or xfs_trans_log_buf. For
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks and xfs_trans_log_buf we require
an initialized buf item, which means b_strat was set to
xfs_bdstrat_cb in xfs_buf_item_init.
Conclusion: we can just get rid of the callback and replace it with
explicit calls to xfs_bdstrat_cb.
