The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. The main cause is a
regression where a work exit path fails to clear the PUSHING state
and recheck the target correctly.

Make both exit paths do the same PUSHING bit clearing and target
checking when the "no more work to be done" condition is hit.
