s more complex, and makes the first problem easier to hit.
Basically the in-memory inode scan is done with full knowledge it can be racing
with inode flushing and AIl tail pushing, which means that inodes that it can't
get the flush lock on might not be attached to the buffer after then in-memory
inode scan due to IO completion occurring. This is actually documented in the
code as "needs better interlocking". i.e. this is a zero-day bug.

Effectively, the in-memory scan must be done while the inode buffer is locked
and Io cannot be issued on it while we do the in-memory inode scan. This
ensures that inodes we couldn't get the flush lock on are guaranteed to be
attached to the cluster buffer, so we can then catch all in-memory inodes and
mark them stale.

Now that the inode cluster buffer is locked before the in-memory scan is done,
there is no need for the two-phase update of the in-memory inodes, so simplify
the code into two loops and remove the allocation of the temporary buffer used
to hold locked inodes across the phases.
