ext4: Wait for proper transaction commit on fsync
(cherry picked from commit b436b9bef84de6893e86346d8fbf7104bc520645)
We cannot rely on buffer dirty bits during fsync because pdflush can come
before fsync is called and clear dirty bits without forcing a transaction
commit. What we do is that we track which transaction has last changed
the inode and which transaction last changed allocation and force it to
disk on fsync.
