xfs: introduce xlog_write_partial()
Re-implement writing of a log vector that does not fit into the current iclog. The iclog will already be in XLOG_STATE_WANT_SYNC because xlog_get_iclog_space() will have reserved all the remaining iclog space for us, hence we can simply iterate over the iovecs in the log vector getting more iclog space until the entire log vector is written. Handling this partial write case separately means we do need to pass unnecessary state around for the common, fast path case when the log vector fits entirely within the current iclog. It isolates the complexity and allows us to modify and improve the partial write case without impacting the simple fast path. This change includes several improvements incorporated from patches written by Christoph Hellwig.
