Subject: [v2 PATCH 1/1] fs/mpage.c: forgotten WRITE_SYNC in case of WB_SYNC_ALL

When data integrity operation happens (sync, fsync, fdatasync calls)
writeback control is set to WB_SYNC_ALL. In that case all write
requests are marked with WRITE_SYNC (WRITE | REQ_SYNC | REQ_NOIDLE)
indicating that caller is waiting for completion and block layer or
block device should prioritize the IO avoiding any possible delays.

But mpage writeback path ignores marking requests as WRITE_SYNC.

This patch fixes this.
