have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now
only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback
(either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of
allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite).

So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs
method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily
intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling
->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does
proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which

It looks like we can update the timestamp more opprtunistically - on unmount

hfs: remove extra mdb write on unmount

HFS calls 'hfs_write_super()' from 'hfs_put_super()' in order to write the MDB
to the media. However, it is not needed because VFS calls '->sync_fs()' before
calling '->put_super()' - so by the time we are in 'hfs_write_super()', the MDB
is already synchronized.

hfsplus: get rid of write_super

This patch makes hfsplus stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method along with
the 's_dirt' superblock flag, because they are on their way out.

The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the
'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and
writes out all dirty superblocks using the '->write_super()' call-back.  But the
problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every
5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client
file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use
'->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make
file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove
it together with the kernel thread.

Tested using fsstress from the LTP project.

nfs: don't use intents for checking atomic open

is_atomic_open() is now only used by nfs4_lookup_revalidate() to check whether
it's okay to skip normal revalidation.

It does a racy check for mount read-onlyness and falls back to normal
revalidation if the open would fail.  This makes little sense now that this
function isn't used for determining whether to actually open the file or not.

The d_mountpoint() check still makes sense since it is an indication that we
might be following a mount and so open may not revalidate the dentry.
