ext4: Make fsync sync new parent directories in no-journal mode
Add a new ext4 state to tell us when a file has been newly created; use
that state in ext4_sync_file in no-journal mode to tell us when we need
to sync the parent directory as well as the inode and data itself. This
fixes a problem in which a panic or power failure may lose the entire
file even when using fsync, since the parent directory entry is lost.
