Subject: [PATCH 16/19] ext4: Support for synchronous DAX faults

We return IOMAP_F_NEEDDSYNC flag from ext4_iomap_begin() for a
synchronous write fault when inode has some uncommitted metadata
changes. In the fault handler ext4_dax_fault() we then detect this case,
call vfs_fsync_range() to make sure all metadata is committed, and call
dax_insert_pfn_mkwrite() to insert page table entry. Note that this will
also dirty corresponding radix tree entry which is what we want -
fsync(2) will still provide data integrity guarantees for applications
not using userspace flushing. And applications using userspace flushing
can avoid calling fsync(2) and thus avoid the performance overhead.
