xfs: add "fail at unmount" error handling configuration
If we take "retry forever" literally on metadata IO errors, we can hang at unmount, once it retries those writes forever. This is the default behavior, unfortunately. Add an error configuration option for this behavior and default it to "fail" so that an unmount will trigger actuall errors, a shutdown and allow the unmount to succeed. It will be noisy, though, as it will log the errors and shutdown that occurs. To fix this, we need to mark the filesystem as being in the process of unmounting. Do this with a mount flag that is added at the appropriate time (i.e. before the blocking AIL sync). We also need to add this flag if mount fails after the initial phase of log recovery has been run.
