commit_metadata export operation replacing nfsd_sync_dir
- Add commit_metadata export_operation to allow the underlying filesystem to
decide how to commit an inode most efficiently.
- Usage of nfsd_sync_dir and write_inode_now has been replaced with the
commit_metadata function that takes a svc_fh.
- The commit_metadata function calls the commit_metadata export_op if it's
there, or else falls back to sync_inode instead of fsync and write_inode_now
because only metadata need be synced here.
- nfsd4_sync_rec_dir now uses vfs_fsync so that commit_metadata can be static
