xfs: add background scanning to clear eofblocks inodes
Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background
scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once
speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when
no eofblocks inodes exist.
The scan interval is based on the new
'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The
background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which
skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).
