ext2: Use generic_buffers_fsync() implementation
Next patch converts ext2 to use iomap interface for DIO. iomap layer can call generic_write_sync() -> ext2_fsync() from iomap_dio_complete while still holding the inode_lock(). Now writeback from other paths doesn't need inode_lock(). It seems there is also no need of an inode_lock() for sync_mapping_buffers(). It uses it's own mapping->private_lock for it's buffer list handling. Hence this patch is in preparation to move ext2 to iomap. This uses generic_buffers_fsync() which does not take any inode_lock() in ext2_fsync().
