    xfs: use blocks for storing the desired IO size · aa0e8833

    Now that we pass block counts everywhere, and index buffers by block
    number and length in units of blocks, convert the desired IO size
    into block counts rather than bytes. Convert the code to use block
    counts, and those that need byte counts get converted at the time of
    use.
    
    Rename the b_desired_count variable to something closer to it's
    purpose - b_io_length - as it is only used to specify the length of
    an IO for a subset of the buffer.  The only time this is used is for
    log IO - both writing iclogs and during log recovery. In all other
    cases, the b_io_length matches b_length, and hence a lot of code
    confuses the two. e.g. the buf item code uses the io count
    exclusively when it should be using the buffer length. Fix these
    apprpriately as they are found.
    
    Also, remove the XFS_BUF_{SET_}COUNT() macros that are just wrappers
    around the desired IO length. They only serve to make the code
    shouty loud, don't actually add any real value, and are often used
    incorrectly.
