ovl: propagate IOCB_APPEND flag on writes to realfile

If ovl file is opened O_APPEND, the underlying realfile is also
opened O_APPEND, so it makes sense to propagate the IOCB_APPEND flags
on sync writes to realfile, just as we do with aio writes.

Effectively, because sync ovl writes are protected by inode lock,
this change only makes a difference if the realfile is written to (size
extending writes) from underneath overlayfs.  The behavior in this case
is undefined, so it is ok if we change the behavior (to fail the ovl
IOCB_APPEND write).
