jbd: use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_SYNC
When you are going to be submitting several sync writes, we want to
give the IO scheduler a chance to merge some of them. Instead of
using the implicitly unplugging WRITE_SYNC variant, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG
and rely on sync_buffer() doing the unplug when someone does a
wait_on_buffer()/lock_buffer().
