[PATCH 4/7] sysv: don't flush page immediately for DIRSYNC directories

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

We do not need to writeout modified directory blocks immediately when
modifying them while the page is locked. It is enough to do the flush
somewhat later which has the added benefit that inode times can be
flushed as well. It also allows us to stop depending on
write_one_page() function.

Ported from an ext2 patch by Jan Kara.
