Before waiting for a request's safe reply, we will send the mdlog

we can record the last session and no need to flush mdlog again
in the next loop. But there still have cases that it may send the
mdlog flush requst twice or more, but that should be not often.

Looks reasonable. My only minor nit is that "wait_unsafe_requests" is
not really descriptive of this function anymore since you're not just
waiting on requests anymore, but also sending mdlog flush requests.

The sync handling in this code is a bit of a mess too. We have
unsafe_request_wait which is called from the fsync codepath, and then we
also have wait_unsafe_requests which is called from ceph_sync_fs. I
suspect they do enough of the same things that those could be combined.

I tried and It was hard to combine them IMO.

The fsync() will iterate the "ci->i_unsafe_iops" and "ci->i_unsafe_dirops" first and get all the possible sessions, and then will send flush mdlog requests to them all.

In the ceph_sync_fs() it needs to iterate the global "mdsc->request_tree" instead.

So, I'll give my ACK on this, but wouldn't mind seeing some other
cleanup in this area.
