[XFS] Use atomics for iclog reference counting
Now that we update the log tail LSN less frequently on transaction completion, we pass the contention straight to the global log state lock (l_iclog_lock) during transaction completion. We currently have to take this lock to decrement the iclog reference count. there is a reference count on each iclog, so we need to take þhe global lock for all refcount changes. When large numbers of processes are all doing small trnasctions, the iclog reference counts will be quite high, and the state change that absolutely requires the l_iclog_lock is the except rather than the norm. Change the reference counting on the iclogs to use atomic_inc/dec so that we can use atomic_dec_and_lock during transaction completion and avoid the need for grabbing the l_iclog_lock for every reference count decrement except the one that matters - the last.
