    xfs: ensure EFD trans aborts on log recovery extent free failure · 6bc43af3

    Log recovery attempts to free extents with leftover EFIs in the AIL
    after initial processing. If the extent free fails (e.g., due to
    unrelated fs corruption), the transaction is cancelled, though it
    might not be dirtied at the time. If this is the case, the EFD does
    not abort and thus does not release the EFI. This can lead to hangs
    as the EFI pins the AIL.
    
    Update xlog_recover_process_efi() to log the EFD in the transaction
    before xfs_free_extent() errors are handled to ensure the
    transaction is dirty, aborts the EFD and releases the EFI on error.
    Since this is a requirement for EFD processing (and consistent with
    xfs_bmap_finish()), update the EFD logging helper to do the extent
    free and unconditionally log the EFD. This encodes the required EFD
    logging behavior into the helper and reduces the likelihood of
    errors down the road.
    
    [dchinner: re-add xfs_alloc.h to xfs_log_recover.c to fix build
     failure.]
