fat: Fix persisting directory entries on fsync(2) of the root directory
Buffers containing the directory entries of a directory's children are
tracked in the directory inode's metadata bh list. Before commit
525da4f40a7c ("fat: Fix missed inode writeback during fsync(2)")
fsync(2) of a directory wrote that list out unconditionally via
mmb_fsync_noflush(). Now the list is written by
fat_sync_inode_metadata() which __writeback_single_inode() only
invokes when the inode has I_METADATA_WRITEBACK set. The root inode
never gets I_METADATA_WRITEBACK - __fat_write_inode() returns early
for it since the root directory has no directory entry of its own -
and fat_sync_inode_metadata() returns early for it as well. Hence
fsync(2) on the root directory returns success without writing out the
directory entries of its children.
Set I_METADATA_WRITEBACK for the root inode in __fat_write_inode() and
make fat_sync_inode_metadata() only skip the nonexistent directory
entry for the root inode but still sync the metadata bh list.
Fixes: 525da4f40a7c ("fat: Fix missed inode writeback during fsync(2)")
