So see my earlier answer.   If this is a normal shutdown, you must use syncfs()
or the normal umount to unmount the file system.   Emergency_remount is
designed for emergencies when it may not be possible to do a blocking
writeback.   You could change emergency_remount to pass in a force value of 0
instead of 1.  However, this will break non-android use cases where the system
administrator really needs the current behaviour in a real emergency.  Worse,
even for the android use case, there may be times when there may be some kind
of I/O error or other malfunction, where a blocking writeblock could stall the
umount process indefinitely.

So the right answer really is to use the algorithm I've outlined in comment #6.
