Yes, but ext4_da_writepages() gets called twice in the __fsync_super()
code path, right?  Once with wbc->sync_mode set to WB_SYNC_HOLD, and
once with wbc->sync_mode set to wbc->sync_mode set to WB_SYNC_ALL,
corresponding to sync_inodes_sb() getting called twice, once with
wait=0 and once with wait=1.
