vfs: Avoid unnecessary WB_SYNC_NONE writeback during sys_sync and reorder sync passes
wakeup_flusher_threads(0) will queue work doing complete writeback for each flusher thread. Thus there is not much point in submitting another work doing full inode WB_SYNC_NONE writeback by writeback_inodes_sb(). After this change it does not make sense to call nonblocking ->sync_fs and block device flush before calling sync_inodes_sb() because wakeup_flusher_threads() is completely asynchronous and thus these functions would be called in parallel with inode writeback running which will effectively void any work they do. So we move sync_inodes_sb() call before these two functions. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
