Nick Piggin 856bf4d717 fs: sys_sync fix ...

s_syncing livelock avoidance was breaking data integrity guarantee of
sys_sync, by allowing sys_sync to skip writing or waiting for superblocks
if there is a concurrent sys_sync happening.

This livelock avoidance is much less important now that we don't have the
get_super_to_sync() call after every sb that we sync.  This was replaced
by __put_super_and_need_restart.
