xfs: Introduce ordered log vector support
And "ordered log vector" is a log vector that is used for tracking a log item through the CIL and into the AIL as part of the log checkpointing. These ordered log vectors are special in that they are not written to to journal in any way, and are not accounted to the checkpoint being written. The reason for this behaviour is to allow operations to attach items to transactions and have them follow the normal transactional lifecycle without actually having to write them to the journal. This allows logging of items that track high level logical changes and writing them to the log, while the physical items being modified pass through into the AIL and pin the tail of the log (and therefore the logical item in the log) until all the modified items are physically written to disk. IOWs, it allows us to write metadata without physically logging every individual change but still maintain the full transactional integrity guarantees we currently have w.r.t. crash recovery. This change modifies some of the CIL item insertion loops, as ordered log vectors introduce some new constraints as they don't track any data. One advantage of this change is that it combines two log vector chain walks into a single pass, so there is less overhead in the transaction commit pass as well. It also kills some unused code in the log vector walk loop when committing the CIL.
