Update recovery_offset even when external metadata is used.

The update of ->recovery_offset in sync_sbs is appropriate even then external
metadata is in use.  However sync_sbs is only called when native
metadata is used.

So move that update in to the top of md_update_sb (which is the only
caller of sync_sbs) before the test on ->external.

This moves the update out of ->write_lock protection, but those fields
only need ->reconfig_mutex protection which they still have.

Also move the test on ->persistent up to where ->external is set as
for metadata update purposes they are the same.

Clear MD_CHANGE_DEVS and MD_CHANGE_CLEAN as they can only be confusing
if ->external is set or ->persistent isn't.

Finally move the update of ->utime down as it is only relevent (like
the ->events update) for native metadata.
