xfs: introduce new internal log vector structure
The current log IO vector structure is a flat array and not extensible. To make it possible to keep separate log IO vectors for individual log items, we need a method of chaining log IO vectors together. Introduce a new log vector type that can be used to wrap the existing log IO vectors on use that internally to the log. This means that the existing external interface (xfs_log_write) does not change and hence no changes to the transaction commit code are required.
