xfs: Properly retry failed dquot items in case of error during buffer writeback

cmaiolino · djwong · commit 373b0589dc8d · 2017-11-30T08:47:40.000-08:00
Once the inode item writeback errors is already fixed, it's time to fix the same
problem in dquot code.

Although there were no reports of users hitting this bug in dquot code (at least
none I've seen), the bug is there and I was already planning to fix it when the
correct approach to fix the inodes part was decided.

This patch aims to fix the same problem in dquot code, regarding failed buffers
being unable to be resubmitted once they are flush locked.

Tested with the recently test-case sent to fstests list by Hou Tao.
