nilfs2: enable sync_page method



This adds a missing sync_page method which unplugs bio requests when
waiting for page locks. This will improve read performance of nilfs.

Here is a measurement result using dd command.

Without this patch:

 # mount -t nilfs2 /dev/sde1 /test
 # dd if=/test/aaa of=/dev/null bs=512k
 1024+0 records in
 1024+0 records out
 536870912 bytes (537 MB) copied, 6.00688 seconds, 89.4 MB/s
