Sorry, Chris - I was being even more than usually stupid. All
you need do is overload the return value from file_operations.fsync().
It currently returns zero on success or negative error. You can
just define a return value of "1" to mean that the fs has taken
care of syncing the directory info and no further action is needed
at the fs layer.
