ocfs2: _really_ sync the right range

[ Upstream commit 64b4e2526d1cf6e6a4db6213d6e2b6e6ab59479a ]

"ocfs2 syncs the wrong range" had been broken; prior to it the
code was doing the wrong thing in case of O_APPEND, all right,
but _after_ it we were syncing the wrong range in 100% cases.
*ppos, aka iocb->ki_pos is incremented prior to that point,
so we are always doing sync on the area _after_ the one we'd
written to.

Spotted by Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@huawei.com> back in January;
unfortunately, I'd missed his mail back then ;-/
