xfs: check for more work before sleeping in xfssyncd
commit 20f6b2c785cf187445f126321638ab8ba7aa7494 upstream. xfssyncd processes a queue of work by detaching the queue and then iterating over all the work items. It then sleeps for a time period or until new work comes in. If new work is queued while xfssyncd is actively processing the detached work queue, it will not process that new work until after a sleep timeout or the next work event queued wakes it. Fix this by checking the work queue again before going to sleep.
