Subject: [PATCH 25/29] ext4: Use generic_file_fsync() in ext4_file_fsync() in nojournal mode

Just use the generic function instead of duplicating it. We only need
to reshuffle the read-only check a bit (which is there to prevent
writing to a filesystem which has been remounted read-only after error
I assume).
