  fat: Opencode sync_page_range_nolock()
  pohmelfs: Use new syncing helper
  xfs: Convert sync_page_range() to simple filemap_write_and_wait_range()
  ocfs2: Update syncing after splicing to match generic version
  ntfs: Use new syncing helpers and update comments
  ext4: Remove syncing logic from ext4_file_write
  ext3: Remove syncing logic from ext3_file_write
  ext2: Update comment about generic_osync_inode
  vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode
  vfs: Rename generic_file_aio_write_nolock
  ocfs2: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock
  pohmelfs: Use __generic_file_aio_write instead of generic_file_aio_write_nolock
  vfs: Remove syncing from generic_file_direct_write() and generic_file_buffered_write()
