In case the above wasn't clear: I don't think this is the right way
to go.  Just to fix the reflink vs wsync bug I think we want a
one-liner like this:

diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_reflink.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_reflink.c
index b0ce04ffd3cd..e2cc7b84ca6c 100644
--- a/fs/xfs/xfs_reflink.c
+++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_reflink.c
@@ -948,6 +948,7 @@ xfs_reflink_update_dest(
 
 	xfs_trans_log_inode(tp, dest, XFS_ILOG_CORE);
 
+	xfs_trans_set_sync(tp);
 	error = xfs_trans_commit(tp);
 	if (error)
 		goto out_error;
