PATCH v2 1/1 Fix use-after-free with buffers

We have a use-after-free issue where log completions access buffers via the buffer log item and the buffer has already been freed. Fix this by taking a reference on the buffer when attaching the buffer log item and release the hold when the buffer log item is detached and we no longer need the buffer. Also create a new function xfs_buf_item_free() to combine some common code and move an ASSERT in xfs_buf_rele() so that we can catch more cases.

We have a use-after-free issue where log completions access buffers via the buffer log item and the buffer has already been freed. Fix this by taking a reference on the buffer when attaching the buffer log item and release the hold when the buffer log item is detached and we no longer need the buffer. Also create a new function xfs_buf_item_free() to combine some common code and move an ASSERT in xfs_buf_rele() so that we can catch more cases.

Looks good, but please mark xfs_buf_item_free static.
