xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe. 

The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems
noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as
the target is a 64 bit value.

We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting
the result when racing with another updating thread. We have
function to do this update safely without needing to care about
32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when
updating the AIL push target.

Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL
lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work
termination to close read holes as well.
