Now overlayfs can only sync dirty inode during syncfs,
so remove unnecessary sync_filesystem() on upper file
system.

Should this instead be __sync_blockdev(..., wait)?

I don't remember why we skipped the case of (wait == 0) here, just guess it's not worth
to export internal function __sync_blockdev() to modules, do you prefer to call __sync_blockdev()
and handle both nowait and wait cases?

Possibly it would make most sense to export the "->sync_fs() +
__sync_blockdev()" part of __sync_filesystem() as a separate helper.
