[PATCH 4/6] xfs: don't zap the attr fork on repair when there are queued pptr updates

From: Darrick J. Wong <[email protected]>

LOLLM noticed that xrep_xattr_rebuild_tree doesn't check for queued
parent pointer updates when it decides that it's going to zap the attr
fork.  This is obviously incorrect, so fix that.  We hold the IOLOCK and
the ILOCK of sc->ip at that point in time, so we can't race with any
/new/ operations.
