[XFS] Delay direct I/O completion to a workqueue This is nessecary

because aio+dio completions may happen from irq context but we need
process context for converting unwritten extents.  We also queue regular
direct I/O completions to workqueue for regularity, there's only one
queue_work call per syscall.
