xfs: Sort delayed write buffers before dispatch
Currently when the xfsbufd writes delayed write buffers, it pushes them to disk in the order they come off the delayed write list. If there are lots of buffers Ń•pread widely over the disk, this results in overwhelming the elevator sort queues in the block layer and we end up losing the posibility of merging adjacent buffers to minimise the number of IOs. Use the new generic list_sort function to sort the delwri dispatch queue before issue to ensure that the buffers are pushed in the most friendly order possible to the lower layers.
