GFS2: Clean up fsync()
This patch is designed to clean up GFS2's fsync
implementation and ensure that it really does get everything on
disk. Since ->write_inode() has been updated, we can call that
via the vfs library function sync_inode_metadata() and the only
remaining thing that has to be done is to ensure that we get
any revoke records in the log after the inode has been written back.

*
- * The VFS will flush "normal" data for us. We only need to worry
- * about metadata here. For journaled data, we just do a log flush
- * as we can't avoid it. Otherwise we can just bale out if datasync
- * is set. For stuffed inodes we must flush the log in order to
- * ensure that all data is on disk.
- *
- * The call to write_inode_now() is there to write back metadata and
- * the inode itself. It does also try and write the data, but thats
- * (hopefully) a no-op due to the VFS having already called filemap_fdatawrite()
- * for us.
