xfs: optimize fsync on directories
Directories are only updated transactionally, which means fsync only needs to flush the log the inode is currently dirty, but not bother with checking for dirty data, non-transactional updates, and most importanly doesn't have to flush disk caches except as part of a transaction commit. While the first two optimizations can't easily be measured, the latter actually makes a difference when doing lots of fsync that do not actually have to commit the inode, e.g. because an earlier fsync already pushed the log far enough. The new xfs_dir_fsync is identical to xfs_nfs_commit_metadata except for the prototype, but I'm not sure creating a common helper for the two is worth it given how simple the functions are.
