[PATCH] fat: issue flush after the writeback of FAT

[Hou Tao]

fsync() needs to make sure the data & meta-data of file are persistent
after the return of fsync(), even when a power-failure occurs later.
In the case of fat-fs, the FAT belongs to the meta-data of file,
so we need to issue a flush after the writeback of FAT instead before.

Also bail out early when any stage of fsync fails.
