xfs: set cursor in xfs_ail_splice() even when AIL was empty
In xfs_ail_splice(), if a cursor is provided it is updated to point to the last item on the list being spliced into the AIL. But if the AIL was found to be empty, the cursor (if provided) is just initialized instead. There is no reason the empty AIL case needs to be treated any differently. And treating it the same way allows this code to be rearranged a bit, with a somewhat tidier result. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
