    Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary
    work in orangefs_flush:
    
      orangefs_flush just writes out data on every close(2) call.  There is
      no need to change anything about the dirty state, especially as
      orangefs doesn't treat I_DIRTY_TIMES special in any way.  The code
      seems to come from partially open coding vfs_fsync.
    
    He sent in a patch with the above commit message and also a
    patch that was a reversion of another Orangefs patch I had
    sent upstream a while ago. I had to fix his reversion patch
    so that it would compile which caused his "don't mess with
    I_DIRTY_TIMES" patch to fail to apply. So here I have just
    remade his patch and applied it after the fixed reversion patch.
