xfs: disable the agi rotor for metadata inodes

Ideally, we'd put all the metadata inodes in one place if we could, so
that the metadata all stay reasonably close together instead of
spreading out over the disk.  Furthermore, if the log is internal we'd
probably prefer to keep the metadata near the log.  Therefore, disable
AGI rotoring for metadata inode allocations.
