xfs: don't drain buffer lru on freeze and read-only remount

Browse Source 
xfs_buftarg_drain() is called from xfs_log_quiesce() to ensure the
buffer cache is reclaimed during unmount. xfs_log_quiesce() is also
called from xfs_quiesce_attr(), however, which means that cache
state is completely drained for filesystem freeze and read-only
remount. While technically harmless, this is unnecessarily
heavyweight. Both freeze and read-only mounts allow reads and thus
allow population of the buffer cache. Therefore, the transitional
sequence in either case really only needs to quiesce outstanding
writes to return the filesystem in a generally read-only state.

Additionally, some users have reported that attempts to freeze a
filesystem concurrent with a read-heavy workload causes the freeze
process to stall for a significant amount of time. This occurs
because, as mentioned above, the read workload repopulates the
buffer LRU while the freeze task attempts to drain it.

To improve this situation, replace the drain in xfs_log_quiesce()
with a buffer I/O quiesce and lift the drain into the unmount path.
This removes buffer LRU reclaim from freeze and read-only [re]mount,
but ensures the LRU is still drained before the filesystem unmounts.
