[GFS2] Change gfs2_fsync() to use write_inode_now()

This is a bit better than the previous version of gfs2_fsync()
although it would be better still if we were able to call a
function which only wrote the inode & metadata. Its no big deal
though that this will potentially write the data as well since
the VFS has already done that before calling gfs2_fsync(). I've
also added a comment to explain whats going on here.
