Christoph Hellwig 0b8fd3033c xfs: log the inode in ->write_inode calls for kupdate 
If the writeback code writes back an inode because it has expired we currently
use the non-blockin ->write_inode path.  This means any inode that is pinned
is skipped.  With delayed logging and a workload that has very little log
traffic otherwise it is very likely that an inode that gets constantly
written to is always pinned, and thus we keep refusing to write it.  The VM
writeback code at that point redirties it and doesn't try to write it again
for another 30 seconds.  This means under certain scenarious time based
metadata writeback never happens.

Fix this by calling into xfs_log_inode for kupdate in addition to data
integrity syncs, and thus transfer the inode to the log ASAP.
