GFS2: Clean up fsync()

This patch is designed to clean up GFS2's fsync
implementation and ensure that it really does get everything on
disk. Since ->write_inode() has been updated, we can call that
via the vfs library function sync_inode_metadata() and the only
remaining thing that has to be done is to ensure that we get
any revoke records in the log after the inode has been written back.
