Why not use xfs_ail_push_all_sync() in this function and skip the direct
stall? This is only used in the unmount and quiesce paths so the big
hammer approach seems reasonable. As it is, the former already calls
xfs_ail_push_all_sync() before xfs_reclaim_all_inodes() and the latter
calls xfs_log_force(mp, XFS_LOG_SYNC).
