[PATCH] ext4: fix shared/002 and 004 fail issue in xfstests

[Namjae Jeon]

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com>

When mounting ext4 with data=journal option, shared/002 and 004 are
failed on xfstests. Calling ext4_force_commit before
filemap_write_and_wait_range is needed to flush all data into journal
on this case.

Hi Namjae,

Thanks for working for this!

Could you include in your commit description of why adding a call to
ext4_force_commit() is necessary to avoid the problem, and what wa
going wrong in the data=journal case?

Thanks,
