Subject: [PATCH] Revert "g_file_set_contents(): don't fsync on ext3/4"

We didn't actually do any real-world testing of this, and
unsurprisingly it turns out to break in at least one widely-used
configuration (Fedora 19 x86_64, ext4 on LVM).

This reverts commit 9d0c17b50102267a5029b58b1f44efbad82d8f03.
