xfs: external logs need to flush data device
The recent journal flush/FUA changes replaced the flushing of the data device on every iclog write with an up-front async data device cache flush. Unfortunately, the assumption of which this was based on has been proven incorrect by the flush vs log tail update ordering issue. As the fix for that issue uses the XLOG_ICL_NEED_FLUSH flag to indicate that data device needs a cache flush, we now need to (once again) ensure that an iclog write to external logs that need a cache flush to be issued actually issue a cache flush to the data device as well as the log device.
