xfs: xfs_buf cache destroy isn't RCU safe



Darrick and Sachin Sant reported that xfs/435 and xfs/436 would
report an non-empty xfs_buf slab on module remove. This isn't easily
to reproduce, but is clearly a side effect of converting the buffer
caceh to RUC freeing and lockless lookups. Sachin bisected and
Darrick hit it when testing the patchset directly.

Turns out that the xfs_buf slab is not destroyed when all the other
XFS slab caches are destroyed. Instead, it's got it's own little
wrapper function that gets called separately, and so it doesn't have
an rcu_barrier() call in it that is needed to drain all the rcu
callbacks before the slab is destroyed.

Fix it by removing the xfs_buf_init/terminate wrappers that just
allocate and destroy the xfs_buf slab, and move them to the same
place that all the other slab caches are set up and destroyed.
