xfs: enable background pushing of the CIL
If we let the CIL grow without bound, it will grow large enough to violate recovery constraints (must be at least one complete transaction in the log at all times) or take forever to write out through the log buffers. Hence we need a check during asynchronous transactions as to whether the CIL needs to be pushed. We track the amount of log space the CIL consumes, so it is relatively simple to limit it on a pure size basis. Make the limit the minimum of just under half the log size (recovery constraint) or 8MB of log space (which is an awful lot of metadata).
