jbd2: fix sending of data flush on journal commit
In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a flush to file system device when it is different from the journal device (because data can still be in disk cache only). Fix the problem by setting a flag in a transaction when some inode is added to it and then send disk flush in the commit code when the flag is set.
