David Chinner 92d9cd1059 [XFS] 977545 977545 977545 977545 977545 977545 xfsaild causing too many
wakeups

Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The
current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen
with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A
single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can
result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it
fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not.

Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle
state and set the timeout appropriately.
