Subject: [PATCH] Fix JFFS2 sync silent failure
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

JFFS2 does not appear to set s_bdi anywhere.  And as of 32a88aa1,
__sync_filesystem() will return 0 if s_bdi is not set.  As a result,
sync_fs() is never called for jffs2 and whatever remains in the wbuf
will not make it to the device.

Fix that up by assigning the mtd bdi.
