Btrfs: remove deleted xattrs on fsync log replay

If we deleted xattrs from a file and fsynced the file, after a log replay
the xattrs would remain associated to the file. This was an unexpected
behaviour and differs from what other filesystems do, such as for example
xfs and ext3/4.

Fix this by, on fsync log replay, check if every xattr in the fs/subvol
tree (that belongs to a logged inode) has a matching xattr in the log,
and if it does not, delete it from the fs/subvol tree. This is a similar
approach to what we do for dentries when we replay a directory from the
fsync log.

This issue is trivial to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my
test for xfstests triggers the issue:

  _crash_and_mount()
  {
       # Simulate a crash/power loss.
       _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES
       _unmount_flakey
       _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES
       _mount_flakey
  }

  rm -f $seqres.full

  _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1
  _init_flakey
  _mount_flakey

  # Create out test file and add 3 xattrs to it.
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  $SETFATTR_PROG -n user.attr1 -v val1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  $SETFATTR_PROG -n user.attr2 -v val2 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  $SETFATTR_PROG -n user.attr3 -v val3 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar

  # Make sure everything is durably persisted.
  sync

  # Now delete the second xattr and fsync the inode.
  $SETFATTR_PROG -x user.attr2 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar

  _crash_and_mount

  # After the fsync log is replayed, the file should have only 2 xattrs, the ones
  # named user.attr1 and user.attr3. The btrfs fsync log replay bug left the file
  # with the 3 xattrs that we had before deleting the second one and fsyncing the
  # file.
  echo "xattr names and values after first fsync log replay:"
  $GETFATTR_PROG --absolute-names --dump $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar | _filter_scratch

  # Now write some data to our file, fsync it, remove the first xattr, add a new
  # hard link to our file and commit the fsync log by fsyncing some other new
  # file. This is to verify that after log replay our first xattr does not exist
  # anymore.
  echo "hello world!" >> $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  $SETFATTR_PROG -x user.attr1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar_link
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/qwerty
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/qwerty

  _crash_and_mount

  # Now only the xattr with name user.attr3 should be set in our file.
  echo "xattr names and values after second fsync log replay:"
  $GETFATTR_PROG --absolute-names --dump $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar | _filter_scratch

  status=0
  exit

The expected golden output, which is produced with this patch applied or
when testing against xfs or ext3/4, is:

  xattr names and values after first fsync log replay:
  # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  user.attr1="val1"
  user.attr3="val3"

  xattr names and values after second fsync log replay:
  # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  user.attr3="val3"

Without this patch applied, the output is:

  xattr names and values after first fsync log replay:
  # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  user.attr1="val1"
  user.attr2="val2"
  user.attr3="val3"

  xattr names and values after second fsync log replay:
  # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar
  user.attr1="val1"
  user.attr2="val2"
  user.attr3="val3"

A patch with a test case for xfstests follows soon.
