xfs: unlock items before allowing the CIL to commit

When we commit a transaction using delayed logging, we need to
unlock the items in the transaciton before we unlock the CIL context
and allow it to be checkpointed. If we unlock them after we release
the CIl context lock, the CIL can checkpoint and complete before
we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and
unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock
will occur before the unpin.

Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit
in the item (inodes and EFIs) and so can race with other transaction
completions if we don't prevent the CIL from checkpointing before
the unlock occurs.
