In e9964c10 we change cap flushing to do a delicate dance because some
inodes on the cap_dirty list could be in a migrating state (got EXPORT but
not IMPORT) in which we couldn't actually flush and move from
dirty->flushing, breaking the while (!empty) { process first } loop
structure. It worked for a single sync thread, but was not reentrant and
triggered infinite loops when multiple syncers came along.
Instead, move inodes with dirty to a separate cap_dirty_migrating list
when in the limbo export-but-no-import state, allowing us to go back to
the simple loop structure (which was reentrant). This is cleaner and more
robust.
Audited the cap_dirty users and this looks fine:
list_empty(&ci->i_dirty_item) is still a reliable indicator of whether we
have dirty caps (which list we're on is irrelevant) and list_del_init()
calls still do the right thing.
