cleanup sync_supers 

Merge the write_super helper into sync_super and move the check for
->write_super earlier so that we can avoid grabbing a reference to
a superblock that doesn't have it.

While we're at it also add a little comment documenting sync_supers.

/**
* sync_supers - helper for periodic superblock writeback
*
* Call the write_super method if present on all dirty superblocks in
* the system. This is for the periodic writeback used by most older
* filesystems. For data integrity superblock writeback use
* sync_filesystems() instead.
*
* Note: check the dirty flag before waiting, so we don't
* hold up the sync while mounting a device. (The newly
* mounted device won't need syncing.)
