This happens due to the following interaction,
1. xfs_defer_finish() creates "extent free" intent item and adds it to the
   per-transction list of log items.
2. xfs_defer_trans_roll() invokes __xfs_trans_commit(). Here, if the
   XFS_MOUNT_FS_SHUTDOWN flag is set, we invoke io_unlock() operation
   for each of the log items in the per-transction list. For "extent
   free" log items xfs_efi_item_unlock() gets invoked which then frees
   the xfs_efi_log_item.
3. xfs_defer_trans_roll() then invokes xfs_defer_trans_abort(). Since the
   xfs_defer_pending->dfp_intent is still set to the "extent free" intent
   item, we invoke xfs_extent_free_abort_intent(). This accesses the
   previously freed xfs_efi_log_item to decrement the ref count.

This commit fixes the bug by invoking xfs_defer_trans_abort() only when
the log items in the per-transaction list have been committed to the
CIL. The log item "committed" status is being tracked by
xfs_defer_ops->dop_committed. This was the behaviour prior to commit
3ab78df2a59a485f479d26852a060acfd8c4ecd7 (xfs: rework xfs_bmap_free
callers to use xfs_defer_ops).
