[XFS] Fix xfs_free_extent related NULL pointer dereference.
We recently fixed an out-of-space deadlock in XFS, and part of that fix involved the addition of the XFS_ALLOC_FLAG_FREEING flag to some of the space allocator calls to indicate they're freeing space, not allocating it. There was a missed xfs_alloc_fix_freelist condition test that did not correctly test "flags". The same test would also test an uninitialised structure field (args->userdata) and depending on its value either would or would not return early with a critical buffer pointer set to NULL. This fixes that up, adds asserts to several places to catch future botches of this nature, and skips sections of xfs_alloc_fix_freelist that are irrelevent for the space-freeing case.
