xfs: fix segment in xfs_buf_item_format_segment

Mark Tinguely · Ben Myers · commit 2d0e9df57902 · 2013-01-16T16:07:56.000-06:00
Not every segment in a multi-segment buffer is dirty in a
transaction and they will not be outputted. The assert in
xfs_buf_item_format_segment() that checks for the at least
one chunk of data in the segment to be used is not necessary
true for multi-segmented buffers.
