[XFS] Prevent looping in xfs_sync_inodes_ag
If the last block of the AG has inodes in it and the AG is an exactly power-of-2 size then the last inode in the AG points to the last block in the AG. If we try to find the next inode in the AG by adding one to the inode number, we increment the inode number past the size of the AG. The result is that the macro XFS_INO_TO_AGINO() will strip the AG portion of the inode number and return an inode number of zero. That is, instead of terminating the lookup loop because we hit the inode number went outside the valid range for the AG, the search index returns to zero and we start traversing the radix tree from the start again. This results in an endless loop in xfs_sync_inodes_ag(). Fix it be detecting if the new search index decreases as a result of incrementing the current inode number. That indicate an overflow and hence that we have finished processing the AG so we can terminate the loop.
