xfs: up(ic_sema) if flushing data device fails

We flush the data device cache before we issue external log IO. If
the flush fails, we shut down the log immediately and return. However,
the iclog->ic_sema is left in a decremented state so let's add an up().
Prior to this patch, xfs/438 would fail consistently when running with
an external log device:

sync
  -> xfs_log_force
  -> xlog_write_iclog
      -> down(&iclog->ic_sema)
      -> blkdev_issue_flush (fail causes us to intiate shutdown)
          -> xlog_force_shutdown
          -> return

unmount
  -> xfs_log_umount
      -> xlog_wait_iclog_completion
          -> down(&iclog->ic_sema) --------> HANG

There is a second early return / shutdown. Make sure the up() happens
for it as well. Also make sure we cleanup the iclog state,
xlog_state_done_syncing, before dropping the iclog lock.
