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.
