GFS2: Split data write & wait in fsync

Browse Source 
Now that the data writing is part of fsync proper, we can split
the waiting part out and do it later on. This reduces the
number of waits that we do during fsync on average.

There is also no need to take the i_mutex unless we are flushing
metadata to disk, so we can move that to within the metadata
flushing code.

* data=ordered, we will write & wait for the data at the log flush
* stage anyway, so this is unlikely to make much of a difference

* If the fdatawrite fails due to any reason except -EIO, we will
* continue the remainder of the fsync, although we'll still report

* behaviour.
