Re: [PATCH 4/5] xfs: make sure xfs_sync_fsdata covers the log

We want to always cover the log after writing out the superblock, and
in case of a synchronous writeout make sure we actually wait for the
log to be covered.  That way a filesystem that has been sync()ed can
be considered clean by log recovery.
This one looks fine to me
