Similar to the xfssyncd, the per-filesystem xfsaild threads can be
converted to a global workqueue and run periodically by delayed
works. This makes sense for the AIL pushing because it uses
variable timeouts depending on the work that needs to be done.

By removing the xfsaild, we simplify the AIL pushing code and
remove the need to spread the code to implement the threading
and pushing across multiple files.
