xfs: kill the b_strat callback in xfs_buf
The b_strat callback is used by xfs_buf_iostrategy to perform additional checks before submitting a buffer. It is used in xfs_bwrite and when writing out delayed buffers. In xfs_bwrite it we can de-virtualize the call easily as b_strat is set a few lines above the call to xfs_buf_iostrategy. For the delayed buffers the rationale is a bit more complicated: - there are three callers of xfs_buf_delwri_queue, which places buffers on the delwri list: (1) xfs_bdwrite - this sets up b_strat, so it's fine (2) xfs_buf_iorequest. None of the callers can have XBF_DELWRI set: - xlog_bdstrat is only used for log buffers, which are never delwri - _xfs_buf_read explicitly clears the delwri flag - xfs_buf_iodone_work retries log buffers only - xfsbdstrat - only used for reads, superblock writes without the delwri flag, log I/O and file zeroing with explicitly allocated buffers. - xfs_buf_iostrategy - only calls xfs_buf_iorequest if b_strat is not set (3) xfs_buf_unlock - only puts the buffer on the delwri list if the DELWRI flag is already set. The DELWRI flag is only ever set in xfs_bwrite, xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, or xfs_trans_log_buf. For xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks and xfs_trans_log_buf we require an initialized buf item, which means b_strat was set to xfs_bdstrat_cb in xfs_buf_item_init. Conclusion: we can just get rid of the callback and replace it with explicit calls to xfs_bdstrat_cb.
