[PATCH 2/3] overlayfs: Implement f_op->syncfs() call

[Vivek Goyal]

Provide an implementation for ->syncfs(). Now if there is an error
returned by sync_filesystem(upper_sb), it will be visible to user
space. Currently in ovl_sync_fs() path, this error is ignored by VFS.

A later patch also adds logic to detect writeback error.
