Currently xlog_alloc allocates memory for the iclogs first, then
allocates a buffer using xfs_buf_get_empty and finally assigns
the memory to the buffer. We don't really want to do this, but
rather allocate a buffer with memory attached to it using
xfs_buf_get_noaddr. There's a subtile change because
xfs_buf_get_empty returns the buffer locked, but xfs_buf_get_noaddr
returns it unlocked. From my auditing and testing nothing in the
log I/O code cares about this distincition, but I'd be happy if
someone could try to prove this independently.
