X-Git-Tag: v4.14.94~4

ext4: use ext4_write_inode() when fsyncing w/o a journal

commit ad211f3e94b314a910d4af03178a0b52a7d1ee0a upstream.

In no-journal mode, we previously used __generic_file_fsync() in
no-journal mode.  This triggers a lockdep warning, and in addition,
it's not safe to depend on the inode writeback mechanism in the case
ext4.  We can solve both problems by calling ext4_write_inode()
directly.
