We need to flush the write cache unconditionally in ->fsync, otherwise writes into already allocated blocks can get lost. Writes into fully allocated files are very common when using disk images for virtualization, and without this fix can easily lose data after an fdatasync, which is the typical implementation for a cache flush on the virtual drive.
