I noticed sys_fsync and sys_fdatasync have exactly the same
implementation, except that sys_fsync does `down(&inode->i_sem)' + up,
and sys_fdatasync doesn't.

It looks like one of them is wrong; probably fdatasync has a bug that's
been fixed in fsync.

Seeing as they're exactly the same code, perhaps it would make sense for
sys_fdatasync to simply call sys_fsync?
