I'm not sure this is a great idea... I think _require_metadata_journaling
should only be used when we expect filesystem consistency after a
(flakey) shutdown.  We can use dm_flakey to test fsync persistence
on vfat, for example, right?  But with this change such a test won't
run on vfat or many other filesystems even though the test for persistent
data would be perfectly valid.
