[PATCH] [Unstable] ext4: properly check for dirty state in ext4_inode_datasync_dirty()

ext4_inode_datasync_dirty() needs to return 'true' if the inode is
dirty, 'false' otherwise, but the logic seems to be incorrectly changed
by commit aa75f4d3daae ("ext4: main fast-commit commit path").
This introduces a problem with swap files that are always failing to be
activated, showing this error in dmesg:
[ 34.406479] swapon: file is not committed
Simple test case to reproduce the problem:
# fallocate -l 8G swapfile
# chmod 0600 swapfile
# mkswap swapfile
# swapon swapfile
Fix the logic to return the proper state of the inode.
