xfs: xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() can use incore perag structures
At the moment, xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() uses a mix of per-ag based access and agf buffer based access to freelist and space usage information. However, once the AGF buffer is locked inside this function, it is guaranteed that both the in-memory and on-disk values are identical. xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() doesn't modify the values in the structures directly, so it is a read-only user of the infomration, and hence can use the per-ag structure exclusively for determining what it should do. This opens up an avenue for cleaning up a lot of duplicated logic whose only difference is the structure it gets the data from, and in doing so removes a lot of needless byte swapping overhead when fixing up the free list.
