2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

(cherry picked from commit 9eddacf9e9c03578ef2c07c9534423e823d677f8)

This undoes commit 14ce0cb411c88681ab8f3a4c9caa7f42e97a3184.

Since jbd2_journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we
started a transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be
committed or there's a transaction already committing, we don't
need to call ext4_force_commit() in ext4_sync_fs(). Furthermore
ext4_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is
expensive so it's worthwhile to remove it when we can.
