xfs: flush inodegc before swapon

Fix the brand new xfstest that tries to swapon on a recently unshared
file and use the chance to document the other bit of magic in this
function.

The big comment is taken from a mailinglist post by Dave Chinner.

/*
* Swap file activation can race against concurrent shared extent
* removal in files that have been cloned. If this happens,
* iomap_swapfile_iter() can fail because it encountered a shared
* extent even though an operation is in progress to remove those
* shared extents.
*
* This race becomes problematic when we defer extent removal
* operations beyond the end of a syscall (i.e. use async background
* processing algorithms). Users think the extents are no longer
* shared, but iomap_swapfile_iter() still sees them as shared
* because the refcountbt entries for the extents being removed have
* not yet been updated. Hence the swapon call fails unexpectedly.
*
* The race condition is currently most obvious from the unlink()
* operation as extent removal is deferred until after the last
* reference to the inode goes away. We then process the extent
* removal asynchronously, hence triggers the "syscall completed but
* work not done" condition mentioned above. To close this race
* window, we need to flush any pending inodegc operations to ensure
* they have updated the refcountbt records before we try to map the
* swapfile.
