Without the above change, if fallocate() is invoked with FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,
FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE or FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE, we used to update inode's
timestamp, remove setuid/setgid bits and then perform a synchronous
transaction commit if O_DSYNC flag is set.

However, with this patch applied, the transaction (inside
xfs_vn_update_time()) that updates file's inode contents (i.e. timestamps and
setuid/setgid bits) is not synchronous and hence the O_DSYNC flag is not
honored if the fallocate operation is one of FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,
FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE or FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE.
