[PATCH 1/2] ext2: Update also inode on disk when dir is IS_DIRSYNC

[Jan Kara]

We used to just write changed page for IS_DIRSYNC inodes. But we also have to
update directory inode itself just for the case that we've allocated a new
block and changed i_size.

Thanks to AKPM for spotting a serious bug in the original version of this
patch.
