[XFS] Sleeping with the ilock waiting for I/O completion is Bad.

Recent fixes to the filesystem freezing code introduced a vn_iowait call
in the middle of the sync code. Unfortunately, at the point where this
call was added we are holding the ilock. The ilock is needed by I/O
completion for unwritten extent conversion and now updating the file size.
Hence I/o cannot complete if we hold the ilock while waiting for I/O
completion.

Fix up the bug and clean the code up around it.
