in .iop_pushbuf We need to check for pinned buffers even in .iop_pushbuf given that inode items flush into the same buffers that may be pinned directly due operations on the unlinked inode list operating directly on buffers. To do this add a return value to .iop_pushbuf that tells the AIL push about this and use the existing log force mechanisms to unpin it.
