The test case is inspired by LTP, where there is a regression on 64K
page size systems with btrfs, that after a fsync, cachestat() still
report dirty pages.
The test case itself is pretty simple, fill the file with a buffered write that is
1/2/4/8/16 page sized, call cachestat() to make sure the cached/dirtied
number match the page number.
Then do a fsync(), and make sure the dirty page number reduced to 0
meanwhile cached is still the same.

Use $AWK_PROG everywhere.

The redirection isn't needed; on success the fsync command sends
nothing to stdout.
