ext4: Clean up s_dirt handling

We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled.  In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted.  As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt.  There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.

This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4
with a journal.
