nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs()

Under normal circumstances nilfs_sync_fs() writes out the super block,
which causes a flush of the underlying block device.  But this depends
on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the
last segment crosses a segment boundary.  So if only a small amount of
data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the
block device occurs.

In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed.
To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device
is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set
whenever the block device is flushed.  For convenience the function
nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.

nilfs2: improve the performance of fdatasync()

Support for fdatasync() has been implemented in NILFS2 for a long time,
but whenever the corresponding inode is dirty the implementation falls
back to a full-flegded sync().  Since every write operation has to
update the modification time of the file, the inode will almost always
be dirty and fdatasync() will fall back to sync() most of the time.  But
this fallback is only necessary for a change of the file size and not
for a change of the various timestamps.

This patch adds a new flag NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC to differentiate between
those two situations.

 * If it is set the file size was changed and a full sync is necessary.
 * If it is not set then only the timestamps were updated and
   fdatasync() can go ahead.

There is already a similar flag I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on the VFS layer with
the exact same semantics.  Unfortunately it cannot be used directly,
because NILFS2 doesn't implement write_inode() and doesn't clear the VFS
flags when inodes are written out.  So the VFS writeback thread can
clear I_DIRTY_DATASYNC at any time without notifying NILFS2.  So
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC has to be mapped onto NILFS_I_INODE_SYNC in
nilfs_update_inode().
