[PATCH] exfat: fix missing REQ_SYNC in exfat_update_bhs()

[Yuezhang.Mo]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1051 bytes --]

If 'dirsync' is enabled, all directory updates within the
filesystem should be done synchronously. exfat_update_bh()
does as this, but exfat_update_bhs() does not.

I think there is no problem in terms of functionality related to
"synchronously" in the original code. However, REQ_SYNC could affect
I/O scheduling, and exfat_update_bh() already requests I/O with this
flag by calling sync_dirty_buffer(). And it is desirable for two
functions to have the same concept for I/O requests.

So, the original code does not seem like a bug,
but this patch looks useful.
Thanks.
