GFS2: dirty inode correctly in gfs2_write_end
GFS2 was only setting I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on files that it wrote to, when it actually increased the file size. If gfs2_fsync was called without I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set, it didn't flush the incore data to the log before returning, so any metadata or journaled data changes were not getting fsynced. This meant that writes to the middle of files were not always getting fsynced properly. This patch makes gfs2 set I_DIRTY_DATASYNC whenever metadata has been updated during a write. It also make gfs2_sync flush the incore log if I_DIRTY_PAGES is set, and the file is using data journalling. This will make sure that all incore logged data gets written to disk before returning from a fsync.
