ext4: Fix data integrity writeout issues in nojournal mode ...

Several racing fsyncs on ext4 in nojournal mode could result in some
fsync returning earlier than all metadata buffers were properly
persisted. Also ext4_fsync() in nojournal mode was somewhat inefficient
because it was always writing out the inode regardless whether it was
dirty or not.

Fix these issues by using new .sync_inode_metadata method which makes
sure all inode related metadata is written to disk during any
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback in nojournal mode. This also somewhat simplifies
the nojournal mode fsync handling.
