ext3: make default data ordering mode configurable

This makes the defautl ext3 data ordering mode (when no explicit
ordering is set) configurable, so as to allow people to default to
'data=writeback' and get the resulting latency improvements.

This is a non-issue if a filesystem has been explicitly set to some
ordering (with 'tune2fs').
