[PATCH] Allow O_SYNC to be set by fcntl(F_SETFL)

[Steve Rago <sar@nec-labs.com>]

This has probably been a problem since day 1 (I ran into this running the 2.4 kernel years ago; finally got around to 
fixing it).  The problem is that fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags|O_SYNC) appears to work, but silently ignores the O_SYNC flag. 
  Opening the file with O_SYNC works okay, but setting it later on via fcntl doesn't work.
