[PATCH 2/6] [XFS] Use xfs_inode_flush() in xfs_sync_inodes_ag()

Dave Chinner david at fromorbit.com

xfs_sync_inodes_ag() effectively open-codes xfs_inode_flush()
to do blocking vs non-blocking inode flushing. It doesn't have
all the optimisations that xfs_inode_flush() has but does
the same thing. Call xfs_inode_flush() instead.
