Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.5-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs

Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner:
 "This is a fix for a regression introduced in 4.5-rc1 by the new torn
  log write detection code.  The regression only affects people moving a
  clean filesystem between machines/kernels of different architecture
  (such as changing between 32 bit and 64 bit kernels), but this is the
  recommended (and only!) safe way to migrate a filesystem between
  architectures so we really need to ensure it works.

  The changes are larger than I'd prefer right at the end of the release
  cycle, but the majority of the change is just factoring code to enable
  the detection of a clean log at the correct time to avoid this issue.

  Changes:

   - Only perform torn log write detection on dirty logs.  This prevents
     failures being detected due to a clean filesystem being moved
     between machines or kernels of different architectures (e.g.  32 ->
     64 bit, BE -> LE, etc).  This fixes a regression introduced by the
     torn log write detection in 4.5-rc1"
