[XFS] Do not access buffers after dropping reference count

We should not access a buffer after dropping it's reference count
otherwise we could race with another thread that releases the final
reference count and frees the buffer causing us to access potentially
unmapped memory. The bug this change fixes only occured on DEBUG XFS since
the offending code was in an ASSERT.
