fat: Replace fat_sync_inode() with sync_inode_metadata()

Browse source

Use generic sync_inode_metadata() instead of fat_sync_inode() for
persisting inode metadata changes for DIRSYNC inodes. This slightly
simplifies code and also addresses a theoretical race where
fat_sync_inode() could return before all metadata buffers associated
with the inode were properly written out when racing with fsync(2).
