[PATCH] jbd2: finish inode data buffers immediately after submiting data buffers

[alex chen <alex.chen@huawei.com>]

During commit process, journal_finish_inode_data_buffers will flush plug
list as follow:
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
->journal_finish_inode_data_buffers
->filemap_fdatawait_range
->wait_on_page_bit
->__wait_on_bit
->sleep_on_page
->io_schedule
->blk_flush_plug_list

When ASYNC_COMMIT feature is set, the journal_finish_inode_data_buffers
separates the commit blocks from the rest of the journal blocks. So we
should finish inode data buffers immediately after submiting data
buffers, this allow most of the journal blocks to be written in a single
I/O operation and improve journal commit performance.
