add a vfs_fsync helper

Browse Source 
Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex.  All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right.  This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.

Notes on the fsync callers:

 - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
   	lower file
 - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
	file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
 - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
   taking i_mutex.  Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
   backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
   the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
   not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
   simple_sync_file directly.

[and now actually export vfs_fsync]
