xfs: decide if inode needs inactivation

Add a predicate function to decide if an inode needs (deferred)
inactivation.  Any file that has been unlinked or has speculative
preallocations either for post-EOF writes or for CoW qualifies.
This function will also be used by the upcoming deferred inactivation
patch.
