How does this belong into this patch series?

Also I think the sync code should just use filemap_fdatawait and
filemap_fdatawait directly.  It's at a high enough level that we don't
need all these obsfucations.

Too long line and pretty ugly use of the lock_flags variable, but given
that it gets sorted out in the sync series I think we can leave it that way.
