During a code inspection, I found a serious bug in the log intent item
recovery code when an intent item cannot complete all the work and
decides to requeue itself to get that done.  When this happens, the
item recovery creates a new incore deferred op representing the
remaining work and attaches it to the transaction that it allocated.  At
the end of _item_recover, it moves the entire chain of deferred ops to
the dummy parent_tp that xlog_recover_process_intents passed to it, but
fail to log a new intent item for the remaining work before committing
the transaction for the single unit of work.

xlog_finish_defer_ops logs those new intent items once recovery has
finished dealing with the intent items that it recovered, but this isn't
sufficient.  If the log is forced to disk after a recovered log item
decides to requeue itself and the system goes down before we call
xlog_finish_defer_ops, the second log recovery will never see the new
intent item and therefore has no idea that there was more work to do.
It will finish recovery leaving the filesystem in a corrupted state.

The same logic applies to /any/ deferred ops added during intent item
recovery, not just the one handling the remaining work.

Yup, that looks like a problem.

Not sold on the "capture" name, but it'll do for now.

Looks good:

I wonder how we could come up with a reliable reproducer for this,
though..

Yeah, I've never actually seen this trip in practice.  I suppose we
could add an error injection point to force the log and bail out midway
through recovery, but that won't help much on unfixed kernels.
