    nilfs2: stop using periodic write_super callback · 1dfa2710

    This removes nilfs_write_super and commit super block in nilfs
    internal thread, instead of periodic write_super callback.
    
    VFS layer calls ->write_super callback periodically.  However,
    it looks like that calling back is ommited when disk I/O is busy.
    And when cleanerd (nilfs GC) is runnig, disk I/O tend to be busy thus
    nilfs superblock is not synchronized as nilfs designed.
    
    To avoid it, syncing superblock by nilfs thread instead of pdflush.
