This test is motivated by an fsync issue discovered in btrfs.
The issue was that we could lose file data, that was previously
fsync'ed successfully, if we end up adding a hard link to our
inode and then persist the fsync log later via an fsync of other
inode for example. This is similar to my previous test, except
that in this test the inode that ends up losing data was created
(with some data) in a transaction different from the one we made
an fsync.
The btrfs issue was fixed by the following linux kernel patch:
