ext4: Fix warnings when freezing filesystem with journaled data
Test generic/390 in data=journal mode often triggers a warning that ext4_do_writepages() tries to start a transaction on frozen filesystem. This happens because although all dirty data is properly written, jbd2 checkpointing code writes data through submit_bh() and as a result only buffer dirty bits are cleared but page dirty bits stay set. Later when the filesystem is frozen, writeback code comes, tries to write supposedly dirty pages and the warning triggers. Fix the problem by calling sync_filesystem() once more after flushing the whole journal to clear stray page dirty bits.
