[PATCH 1/2] xfs: Always flush caches when integrity is required

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

There is no reason anymore for not issuing device integrity
operations when teh filesystem requires ordering or data integrity
guarantees. We should always issue cache flushes and FUA writes
where necessary and let the underlying storage optimise them as
necessary for correct integrity operation.
