From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We finally do not need VFS's 's_dirt' flag in ext2 - introduce our own
's_dirty' flag instead.
Note: the final goal is to get rid of the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread which
wakes up every 5 seconds and even if there is nothing to do. Thus, we are
pushing superblock management from VFS down to file-systems.
