I'm seeing assert failures from xlog_space_left() after a shutdown
has begun that look like:

XFS (dm-0): log I/O error -5
XFS (dm-0): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x2) called from line 1338 of file fs/xfs/xfs_log.c. Return address = xlog_ioend_work+0x64/0xc0
XFS (dm-0): Log I/O Error Detected.
XFS (dm-0): Shutting down filesystem. Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)
XFS (dm-0): xlog_space_left: head behind tail
XFS (dm-0):   tail_cycle = 6, tail_bytes = 2706944
XFS (dm-0):   GH   cycle = 6, GH   bytes = 1633867
XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log.c, line: 1310
------------[ cut here ]------------
Call Trace:
 xlog_space_left+0xc3/0x110
 xlog_grant_push_threshold+0x3f/0xf0
 xlog_grant_push_ail+0x12/0x40
 xfs_log_reserve+0xd2/0x270
 ? __might_sleep+0x4b/0x80
 xfs_trans_reserve+0x18b/0x260
.....

There are two things here. Firstly, after a shutdown, the log head
and tail can be out of whack as things abort and release (or don't
release) resources, so checking them for sanity doesn't make much
sense. Secondly, xfs_log_reserve() can race with shutdown and so it
can still fail like this even though it has already checked for a
log shutdown before calling xlog_grant_push_ail().

So, before ASSERT failing in xlog_space_left(), make sure we haven't
already shut down....
