[PATCH] JFS: Write journal sync points more often

This patch adds jfs_syncpt, which calls lmLogSync to write sync points
to the journal both in jfs_sync_fs and when sync barrier processing
completes.

lmLogSync accomplishes two things:  1) it pushes logged-but-dirty
metadata pages to disk, and 2) it writes a sync record to the journal
so that jfs_fsck doesn't need to replay more transactions than is
necessary.
