We need to commit dirty metadata and pages to disk
before remounting exfat as read-only.
This fixes a failure in xfstests generic/452
generic/452 does the following:
cp something <exfat>/
mount -o remount,ro <exfat>
the <exfat>/something is corrupted. because while
exfat is remounted as read-only, exfat doesn't
have a chance to commit metadata and
vfs invalidates page caches in a block device.

Changes from v1:
- Does not check the return value of sync_filesystem to
allow to change from "rw" to "ro" even when this function
fails.
- Add the detailed explanation why generic/452 fails
