block_write_full_page: Use synchronous writes for WBC_SYNC_ALL writebacks
When doing synchronous writes because wbc->sync_mode is set to WBC_SYNC_ALL, send the write request using WRITE_SYNC, so that we don't unduly block system calls such as fsync(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
