block_write_full_page: switch synchronous writes to use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG
Now that we have a distinction between WRITE_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC_PLUG, use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG in __block_write_full_page() to avoid unplugging the block device I/O queue between each page that gets flushed out. Otherwise, when we run sync() or fsync() and we need to write out a large number of pages, the block device queue will get unplugged between for every page that is flushed out, which will be a pretty serious performance regression caused by commit a64c8610.
