exfat: call sync_filesystem for read-only remount
[ Upstream commit a0271a15cf2cf907ea5b0f2ba611123f1b7935ec ]
We need to commit dirty metadata and pages to disk
before remounting exfat as read-only.
This fixes a failure in xfstests generic/452
generic/452 does the following:
cp something <exfat>/
mount -o remount,ro <exfat>
the <exfat>/something is corrupted. because while
exfat is remounted as read-only, exfat doesn't
have a chance to commit metadata and
vfs invalidates page caches in a block device.
