Fsync is really an inode operation (AFAICS) so a doing it on a O_RDONLY
file descriptor should flush any data written through an O_WRONLY file
descriptor for example.
To make this work correctly in case the file is copied up after being
opened for read intercept the fsync fop, similarly to read_iter and mmap.
