Subject: [PATCH 1/2] jbd: Provide function to check whether transaction will issue data barrier

Provide a function which returns whether a transaction with given tid
will send a barrier to the filesystem device. The function will be used
by ext3 to detect whether fsync needs to send a separate barrier or not.
