Move sync_filesystem() after sb_prepare_remount_readonly(). If writers
sneak in anywhere from sync_filesystem() to sb_prepare_remount_readonly()
it can cause inodes to be dirtied and writeback to occur well after
sys_mount() has completely successfully.
This was spotted by corrupted ubifs filesystems on reboot, but appears
that it can cause issues with any filesystem using writeback.

I marked this as hack as because there is still a race condition concerning
the force == 1 situation. mark_files_ro() never actually blocks new
writers even through the filesystem-specific remount code because nothing
ever sets sb->s_readonly_remount.
