As per Christoph advise: no need to call filemap_write_and_wait(). In exofs all metadata is at the inode so just writing the inode is all is needed. ->fsync implies this must be done synchronously. But now exofs_file_fsync can not be used by exofs_file_flush. vfs_fsync() should do that job correctly. FIXME: remove the sb_sync and fix that sb_update better.
