[PATCH] reiserfs: use mark_inode_dirty instead of reiserfs_update_sd
reiserfs should use mark_inode_dirty during reiserfs_file_write and
reiserfs_commit_write. This makes sure the inode is properly flagged as
dirty, which is used during O_SYNC to decide when to trigger log commits.
This patch also removes the O_SYNC check from reiserfs_commit_write, since
that gets dealt with properly at higher layers once we start using
mark_inode_dirty.
Thanks to Hifumi Hisashi <hifumi.hisashi@lab.ntt.co.jp> for catching this.
