Subject: [PATCH 3/8] ext2: write superblock only once on unmount

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@...ux.intel.com>

Currently on unmount if we are mounted R/W, we first write the superblock to
the media if it is dirty, and then write it again, which is not optimal. This
patch makes ext2 write the superblock on unmount less times.
