We miss-communicated. I did like it, but I though it was not needed
because of fsync implementation bug (which I forgot to report to Miklos).
I was wrong though. I understand now why allow_metacopy is needed
for fsync.

What you actually need to call from ovl_fsync() is:
_ovl_real_file(file, real, !datasync);

So you don't actually have a user for ovl_real_meta_file(), but that's
fine to have the helper anyway.

Thanks,
Amir.
