fs/buffer.c: Add generic_buffers_fsync*() implementation

Browse Source 
Some of the higher layers like iomap takes inode_lock() when calling
generic_write_sync().
Also writeback already happens from other paths without inode lock,
so it's difficult to say that we really need sync_mapping_buffers() to
take any inode locking here. Having said that, let's add
generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() implementation in buffer.c with no
inode_lock/unlock() for now so that filesystems like ext2 and
ext4's nojournal mode can use it.

Ext4 when got converted to iomap for direct-io already copied it's own
variant of __generic_file_fsync() without lock.

This patch adds generic_buffers_fsync()
& generic_buffers_fsync_noflush() implementations for use in filesystems
like ext2 & ext4 respectively.

Later we can review other filesystems as well to see if we can make
generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() which does not take any inode_lock() as
the default path.
