[PATCH] notify block layer when using temporary change to cache_type

[Vaughan Cao <vaughan.cao@oracle.com>]

This is a fix for commit:
  39c60a0948cc06139e2fbfe084f83cb7e7deae3b sd: fix array cache flushing bug causing performance problems
We must notify the block layer via q->flush_flags after temporary change the cache_type to write through.
If not, SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command will still be generated.
