Subject: ext3: fix synchronization of quota files in journal=data mode
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
In journal=data mode, it is not enough to do write_inode_now as done in
vfs_quota_on() to write all data to their final location (which is needed for
quota_read to work correctly). Calling journal_flush() does its job.
