xfs: fix xfs_mark_inode_dirty during umount

commit 866e4ed77448a0c311e1b055eb72ea05423fd799 upstream.

During umount we do not add a dirty inode to the lru and wait for it to
become clean first, but force writeback of data and metadata with
I_WILL_FREE set.  Currently there is no way for XFS to detect that the
inode has been redirtied for metadata operations, as we skip the
mark_inode_dirty call during teardown.  Fix this by setting i_update_core
nanually in that case, so that the inode gets flushed during inode reclaim.

Alternatively we could enable calling mark_inode_dirty for inodes in
I_WILL_FREE state, and let the VFS dirty tracking handle this.  I decided
against this as we will get better I/O patterns from reclaim compared to
the synchronous writeout in write_inode_now, and always marking the inode
dirty in some way from xfs_mark_inode_dirty is a better safetly net in
either case.
