xfs: log worker needs to start before intent/unlink recovery

After 963 iterations of generic/530, it deadlocked during recovery
on a pinned inode cluster buffer like so:

We have the mount process waiting on an inode cluster buffer read,
inodegc doing unlink waiting on the same inode cluster buffer, and
the AIL push thread blocked in writeback waiting for the inode
cluster buffer to become unpinned.

What has happened here is that the AIL push thread has raced with
the inodegc process modifying, committing and pinning the inode
cluster buffer here in xfs_buf_delwri_submit_buffers() here:

	blk_start_plug(&plug);
	list_for_each_entry_safe(bp, n, buffer_list, b_list) {
		if (!wait_list) {
			if (xfs_buf_ispinned(bp)) {
				pinned++;
				continue;
			}
Here >>>>>>
			if (!xfs_buf_trylock(bp))
				continue;

Basically, the AIL has found the buffer wasn't pinned and got the
lock without blocking, but then the buffer was pinned. This implies
the processing here was pre-empted between the pin check and the
lock, because the pin count can only be increased while holding the
buffer locked. Hence when it has gone to submit the IO, it has
blocked waiting for the buffer to be unpinned.

With all executing threads now waiting on the buffer to be unpinned,
we normally get out of situations like this via the background log
worker issuing a log force which will unpinned stuck buffers like
this. But at this point in recovery, we haven't started the log
worker. In fact, the first thing we do after processing intents and
unlinked inodes is *start the log worker*. IOWs, we start it too
late to have it break deadlocks like this.

Avoid this and any other similar deadlock vectors in intent and
unlinked inode recovery by starting the log worker before we recover
intents and unlinked inodes. This part of recovery runs as though
the filesystem is fully active, so we really should have the same
infrastructure running as we normally do at runtime.
