[PATCH 4/5] xfstests: sync before umount to avoid device busy problems

[tmarek@redhat.com]

From: Tom Marek <tmarek@redhat.com>

Some tests might fail because of 'device or resource busy' when unmounting
either the SCRATCH or the TEST device. The reason this happenes is that
some processes might not have time to finish properly, or they are still
waiting for IO. The sync command was added before unmount into
_scratch_unmount() and umount_or_remount_ro which should help processes to
finish before unmounting takes place and thus it solves the problem.
This fixes for example tests 226 and 247.

Test 226 uses plain umount command which suffers from exactly the same problem
as described above. Use fixed _scratch_unmount() instead of plain umount fixes
this problem.
