ext4: make fsync to sync parent dir in no-journal for real this time
Previously commit 14ece1028b3ed53ffec1b1213ffc6acaf79ad77c added a support for for syncing parent directory of newly created inodes to make sure that the inode is not lost after a power failure in no-journal mode. However this does not work in majority of cases, namely: - if the directory has inline data - if the directory is already indexed - if the directory already has at least one block and: - the new entry fits into it - or we've successfully converted it to indexed So in those cases we might lose the inode entirely even after fsync in the no-journal mode. This also includes ext2 default mode obviously. I've noticed this while running xfstest generic/321 and even though the test should fail (we need to run fsck after a crash in no-journal mode) I could not find a newly created entries even when if it was fsynced before. Fix this by adjusting the ext4_add_entry() successful exit paths to set the inode EXT4_STATE_NEWENTRY so that fsync has the chance to fsync the parent directory as well.
