Fsync translog without writeLock before rolling (#45765)

Today, when rolling a new translog generation, we block all write
threads until a new generation is created. This choice is perfectly 
fine except in a highly concurrent environment with the translog 
async setting. We can reduce the blocking time by pre-sync the 
current generation without writeLock before rolling. The new step 
would fsync most of the data of the current generation without 
blocking write threads.
