vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)

Browse Source 
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.

Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.

sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

/**
* sync_inodes - writes all inodes to disk

*
* sync_inodes() goes through each super block's dirty inode list, writes the
* inodes out, waits on the writeout and puts the inodes back on the normal
* list.
*
* This is for sys_sync(). fsync_dev() uses the same algorithm. The subtle
* part of the sync functions is that the blockdev "superblock" is processed
* last. This is because the write_inode() function of a typical fs will
* perform no I/O, but will mark buffers in the blockdev mapping as dirty.
* What we want to do is to perform all that dirtying first, and then write
* back all those inode blocks via the blockdev mapping in one sweep. So the
* additional (somewhat redundant) sync_blockdev() calls here are to make
* sure that really happens. Because if we call sync_inodes_sb(wait=1) with
* outstanding dirty inodes, the writeback goes block-at-a-time within the
* filesystem's write_inode(). This is extremely slow.
