Yeah, this got lost when playing with variations of the patch.  Correct
version below:

Subject: xfs: split inode flushing from xfs_sync_inodes_ag
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch at lst.de>


In many cases we only want to sync inode metadata. Split out the inode
flushing into a separate helper to prepare factoring the inode sync code.

Based on a patch from Dave Chinner, but redone to keep the current behaviour
exactly and leave changes to the flushing logic to another patch.
