[PATCH 4.16 63/72] smb3: directory sync should not return an error

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 6e70c267e68d77679534dcf4aaf84e66f2cf1425 upstream.

As with NFS, which ignores sync on directory handles,
fsync on a directory handle is a noop for CIFS/SMB3.
Do not return an error on it.  It breaks some database
apps otherwise.
