where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with
WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit:
ee53a891f4).
This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of
file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL.
This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously
needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.
