ext4: Fix warnings when freezing filesystem with journaled data

Browse Source 
Test generic/390 in data=journal mode often triggers a warning that
ext4_do_writepages() tries to start a transaction on frozen filesystem.
This happens because although all dirty data is properly written, jbd2
checkpointing code writes data through submit_bh() and as a result only
buffer dirty bits are cleared but page dirty bits stay set. Later when
the filesystem is frozen, writeback code comes, tries to write
supposedly dirty pages and the warning triggers. Fix the problem by
calling sync_filesystem() once more after flushing the whole journal to
clear stray page dirty bits.

[ Applied fixup patches to address crashes when running data=journal
  tests; see links for more details -- TYT ]
