xfs: shutdown on failure to add page to log bio



If the bio_add_page() call fails, we proceed to write out a
partially constructed log buffer. This corrupts the physical log
such that log recovery is not possible. Worse, persistent
occurrences of this error eventually lead to a BUG_ON() failure in
bio_split() as iclogs wrap the end of the physical log, which
triggers log recovery on subsequent mount.

Rather than warn about writing out a corrupted log buffer, shutdown
the fs as is done for any log I/O related error. This preserves the
consistency of the physical log such that log recovery succeeds on a
subsequent mount. Note that this was observed on a 64k page debug
kernel without upstream commit 59bb4798 ("mm, sl[aou]b:
guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), which
demonstrated frequent iclog bio overflows due to unaligned (slab
allocated) iclog data buffers.
