From: Dave Chinner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> We need to do a synchronous xfs_sync_fsdata to make sure the superblock actually is on disk when we return. Also remove SYNC_BDFLUSH flag to xfs_sync_inodes because that particular flag is never checked. Move xfs_filestream_flush call later to only release inodes after they have been written out.
