Subject: [Bug 106871] Lower log level for "No Caching mode page found" and "Assuming drive cache: write through"

The question is, why are we even using "write through" as fallback when if it
can be dangerous? What's wrong with using "write back" as fallback instead?
Would a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command ever be a threat to devices without write
cache or caching mode page?

Seems like we consider "write back" an safer option everywhere else but we just
somehow require users to use a quirk to switch to that for no reason. This just
looks silly to me.
