gfs2: Inode dirtying fix
With the recent iomap write page reclaim deadlock fix, it turns out that the GLF_DIRTY flag isn't always set when it needs to be anymore: previously, this happened as a side effect of always adding the inode buffer head to the current transaction with gfs2_trans_add_meta, but this isn't happening consistently anymore. Fix by removing an additional unnecessary gfs2_trans_add_meta call and by setting the GLF_DIRTY flag in gfs2_iomap_end. (The GLF_DIRTY flag causes inode_go_sync to flush the transaction log when syncing out the glock of that inode. When the flag isn't set, inode_go_sync will skip inodes, including ones with an i_state of I_DIRTY_PAGES, which will lead to cluster incoherency.) In addition, in gfs2_iomap_page_done, if the metadata has changed, mark the inode as I_DIRTY_DATASYNC to have the inode added to the current transaction: we don't expect metadata to change here, but let's err on the safe side.
