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

I think it will be cleaner to use a helper ovl_sync_upper_filesystem()
with everything from  upper_sb = ... and a comment to explain that
this is a variant of __sync_filesystem() where all the dirty inodes write
have already been started.

Thanks,
Amir.

P.S. I like this "stoopid proof" v6 because I can understand it ;-)

I agree with you.
