xfs: convert l_last_sync_lsn to an atomic variable
log->l_last_sync_lsn is updated in only one critical spot - log
buffer Io completion - and is protected by the grant lock here. This
requires the grant lock to be taken for every log buffer IO
completion. Converting the l_last_sync_lsn variable to an atomic64_t
means that we do not need to take the grant lock in log buffer IO
completion to update it.
This also removes the need for explicitly holding a spinlock to read
the l_last_sync_lsn on 32 bit platforms.
