    exfat: flush dirty metadata in fsync
    
    [ Upstream commit 5267456e953fd8c5abd8e278b1cc6a9f9027ac0a ]
    
    generic_file_fsync() exfat used could not guarantee the consistency of
    a file because it has flushed not dirty metadata but only dirty data pages
    for a file.
    
    Instead of that, use exfat_file_fsync() for files and directories so that
    it guarantees to commit both the metadata and data pages for a file.
