Can we keep this in linux/pmem.h?  I'm pretty sure the stubs would need
it as well, and even if they don't it'll keep the includes consistent.

Shouldn't we fi that?

And if not and iter_needs_pmem_wb helper to encode this knowledge would
be useful.

Please add a local vaiable so that the __force casting is only needed
once.  Same for other functions with this pattern.
