From: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com>
There's not much to be gained from making the resize group-add operation fully
synchronous. It's already atomic by virtue of the journal, and a resize
operation usually doesn't add just one group, but many. The real need is to
sync things up at the end of the *entire* resize, not after each individual
group-add; and by syncing each group separately, the whole resize operation is
made much, much slower if we're running on a live filesystem.
