xfs: avoid synchronous transactions when deleting attr blocks
commit 859f57ca00805e6c482eef1a7ab073097d02c8ca upstream. [slightly different from the upstream version because of a previous cleanup] Currently xfs_attr_inactive causes a synchronous transactions if we are removing a file that has any extents allocated to the attribute fork, and thus makes XFS extremely slow at removing files with out of line extended attributes. The code looks a like a relict from the days before the busy extent list, but with the busy extent list we avoid reusing data and attr extents that have been freed but not commited yet, so this code is just as superflous as the synchronous transactions for data blocks.
