As fsync(2) says:
fdatasync() is similar to fsync(), but does not flush modified metadata unless that
metadata is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.

I think fdatasync should try to perform in-place-update to avoid unnecessary metadata
update whatever the ipu_policy is, and F2FS_IPU_FSYNC is used for fsync independently.
