Subject[23/90] ext4: Assure that metadata blocks are written during fsync in no journal mode
2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
(cherry picked from commit fe188c0e084bdf3038dc0ac963c21d764f53f7da)

When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads
associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's
mapping->private_list via mark_buffer_dirty_inode() so that
ext4_sync_file() --- which is called to service fsync() and
fdatasync() system calls --- can write out the inode's metadata blocks
by calling sync_mapping_buffers().
