[XFS] Apply transaction delta counts atomically to incore counters

With the per-cpu superblock counters, batch updates are no longer atomic
across the entire batch of changes. This is not an issue if each
individual change in the batch is applied atomically. Unfortunately, free
block count changes are not applied atomically, and they are applied in a
manner guaranteed to cause problems.

Essentially, the free block count reservation that the transaction took
initially is returned to the in core counters before a second delta takes
away what is used. because these two operations are not atomic, we can
race with another thread that can use the returned transaction reservation
before the transaction takes the space away again and we can then get
ENOSPC being reported in a spot where we don't have an ENOSPC condition,
nor should we ever see one there.

Fix it up by rolling the two deltas into the one so it can be applied
safely (i.e. atomically) to the incore counters.
