xfs: cleanup ->sync_fs

Sort out ->sync_fs to not perform a superblock writeback for the wait = 0 case
as that is just an optional first pass and the superblock will be written back
properly in the next call with wait = 1.  Instead perform an opportunistic
quota writeback to have less work later.  Also remove the freeze special case
as we do a proper wait = 1 call in the freeze code anyway.

Also rename the function to xfs_fs_sync_fs to match the normal naming
convention, update comments and avoid calling into the laptop_mode logic on
an error.
