[XFS] Prevent use-after-free caused by synchronous inode reclaim
With the combined linux and XFS inode, we need to ensure that the combined
structure is not freed before the generic code is finished with the inode.
As it turns out, there is a case where the XFS inode is freed before the
linux inode - when xfs_reclaim() is called from ->clear_inode() on a clean
inode, the xfs inode is freed during that call. The generic code
references the inode after the ->clear_inode() call, so this is a use
after free situation.
Fix the problem by moving the xfs_reclaim() call to ->destroy_inode()
instead of in ->clear_inode(). This ensures the combined inode structure
is not freed until after the generic code has finished with it.
