Subject: [PATCH] xfs: add guard before freeing buffer log item
Author: marcelomspessoto@gmail.com

#syz test: https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git master

A buffer's write completion can race with the CIL walking the same
checkpoint's item list during a forced shutdown's simulated commit
callbacks. Whichever side reaches the item last should be the one to
free it; right now completion frees it unconditionally, so the CIL
walk can end up touching memory that's already gone.

Fixes: d2fe5c4c8d25 ("xfs: rearrange code in xfs_buf_item.c")
