xfs: remove periodic superblock writeback

Browse source

All modifications to the superblock are done transactional through
xfs_trans_log_buf, so there is no reason to initiate periodic
asynchronous writeback.  This only removes the superblock from the
delwri list and will lead to sub-optimal I/O scheduling.

Cut down xfs_sync_fsdata now that it's only used for synchronous
superblock writes and move the log coverage checks into the two
callers.
