* Major simplications and cleanup - we only need to do the metadata, because

* What we do is just kick off a commit and wait on it. This will snapshot the

* will wait on that.
* filemap_fdatawait() will encounter a ton of newly-dirtied pages
* (they were dirtied by commit). But that's OK - the blocks are
* safe in-journal, which is all fsync() needs to ensure.
