hfsplus: make sure sync writes out all metadata
hfsplus stores all metadata except for the volume headers in special inodes. While these are marked hashed and periodically written out by the flusher threads, we can't rely on that for sync. For the case of a data integrity sync the VM has life-lock avoidance code that avoids writing inodes again that are redirtied during the sync, which is something that can happen easily for hfsplus. So make sure we explicitly write out the metadata inodes at the beginning of hfsplus_sync_fs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@tuxera.com>
