[PATCH 3/3] xfs: ensure log flush at the end of a synchronous fallocate call

["Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

If the caller wanted us to persist the preallocation to disk before
returning to userspace, make sure we force the log to disk after making
all metadata updates.
