This new update 1) runs get_super after fsync_dev in invalidate_device
to avoid sleeping before the lock_super in case do_sync == 1, 2)
replaces the softblocksize bugcheck in ll_rw_block with an hardblocksize
bugcheck, now the softblocksize is a purerly filesystem thing, completly
unrelated to the other ways of doing I/O (this fixes false positives of
such bugcheck after a mount of a 4k fs).

as usual you must apply the o_direct patch first (the o_direct patch
has no updates and it stays at the -11 revision):
