Hi OGAWA
When I checked more, we should wait till inode is sync. Because in the
eviction it will leave the inode/buffers being marked dirty.
Not waiting for it get sync over here. It will leave cluster chain
corrupted when remounting.
It mean we cannot use __fat_write_inode with inode_needs_sync() conditionally.
Thanks.
