    We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
    The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
    simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
    the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
    which can lead to some confusion.
    
    This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
    to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
    with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
    what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.
