libnvdimm, pmem: Unconditionally deep flush on *sync
Prior to this commit we would only do a "deep flush" (have nvdimm_flush() write to each of the flush hints for a region) in response to an msync/fsync/sync call if the nvdimm_has_cache() returned true at the time we were setting up the request queue. This happens due to the write cache value passed in to blk_queue_write_cache(), which then causes the block layer to send down BIOs with REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH set. We do have a "write_cache" sysfs entry for namespaces, i.e.: /sys/bus/nd/devices/pfn0.1/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache which can be used to control whether or not the kernel thinks a given namespace has a write cache, but this didn't modify the deep flush behavior that we set up when the driver was initialized. Instead, it only modified whether or not DAX would flush CPU caches via dax_flush() in response to *sync calls. Simplify this by making the *sync deep flush always happen, regardless of the write cache setting of a namespace. The DAX CPU cache flushing will still be controlled the write_cache setting of the namespace.
