bb_close() with fsync()
We should have a bb_close() in place of normal close, with a CONFIG_ option
to not just check the return value of close() for an error, but fsync().
Close can't reliably report anything useful because if write() accepted the
data then it either went out or it's in cache or a pipe buffer. Either way,
there's no guarantee it'll make it to its final destination before close()
gets called, so there's no guarantee that any error will be reported.
You need to call fsync() if you care about errors that occur after write(),
but that can have a big performance impact. So make it a config option.
