make sure data is on disk before calling ->write_inode
Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit 2daea67e966dc0c42067ebea015ddac6834cef88 we need to write for data to
actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee
data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O
completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS
has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while
others are possibly missing out on this.
Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change
as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form
by itself.

Prioritize synchronous signals over 'normal' signals
This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a
processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to
use by [t]kill().
This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier
for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the
signal stack.
Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed
asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new
signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV
or SIGBUS in the first place.
This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous
signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit
preferences of SIGSEGV and friends. See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395
for some of the discussion. But in the meantime this is a simple and
fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole
if (x & Y)
x &= Y;
thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions:
movq %rdx, %rax
andl $Y, %eax
cmovne %rax, %rdx
