Not quite what I suggested. You removed the transaction that logs the changes first. That needs to stay, otherwise we are writing unlogged changes to the superblock, and have the possibility of a crash before the unmount record is written causing log recovery to modify the superblock and not have all the correct changes in the log. So it first needs to log the changes (synchronously), then write the changes (synchronously).
