Michael Kerrisk cd95b6a6ab sync_file_range.2: Document the architecture-specific sync_file_range2() system call 
As described in commit edd5cd4a9424f22b0fa08bef5e299d41befd5622,
the sync_file_range() argument order is broken for some
architectures (PowerPC, ARM, tile). The remedy was a different
system call using the right argument order on those architectures.

Christoph Hellwig db3e674548 sync_file_range.2: Add some big warnings re data integrity 
This system call is by design completely unsuitable for any data
integrity operations.  Make that very clear in the manpage.
