Filipe Manana 8e38c06860 generic: add test for fsync of directory after creating hard link
Test that if we create a new hard link for a file which was
previously fsync'ed, fsync a parent directory of the new hard link
and power fail, the parent directory exists after mounting the
filesystem again. The parent directory must be a new directory, not
yet persisted.

This test is motivated by a bug found in btrfs, where the fsync'ed
parent directory was lost after a power failure. The bug in btrfs is
fixed by a patch for the linux kernel titled:

 "Btrfs: sync log after logging new name"
