Stacked filesystems like overlayfs has no own writeback, but they have to forward syncfs() requests to backend for keeping data integrity. During global sync() each overlayfs instance calls method ->sync_fs() for backend although it itself is in global list of superblocks too. As a result one syscall sync() could write one superblock several times and send multiple disk barriers. This patch adds flag SB_I_SKIP_SYNC into sb->sb_iflags to avoid that.
