[PATCH v2 4/4] ceph: flush the mdlog before waiting on unsafe reqs

[xiubli@redhat.com]

From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@redhat.com>

For the client requests who will have unsafe and safe replies from
MDS daemons, in the MDS side the MDS daemons won't flush the mdlog
(journal log) immediatelly, because they think it's unnecessary.
That's true for most cases but not all, likes the fsync request.
The fsync will wait until all the unsafe replied requests to be
safely replied.

Normally if there have multiple threads or clients are running, the
whole mdlog in MDS daemons could be flushed in time if any request
will trigger the mdlog submit thread. So usually we won't experience
the normal operations will stuck for a long time. But in case there
has only one client with only thread is running, the stuck phenomenon
maybe obvious and the worst case it must wait at most 5 seconds to
wait the mdlog to be flushed by the MDS's tick thread periodically.

This patch will trigger to flush the mdlog in the relevant and auth
MDSes to which the in-flight requests are sent just before waiting
the unsafe requests to finish.
