[PATCH v2 3/3] libnvdimm: don't flush power-fail protected CPU caches

[Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>]

This commit:

5fdf8e5ba566 ("libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()")

intended to make sure that deep flush was always available even on
platforms which support a power-fail protected CPU cache.  An unintended
side effect of this change was that we also lost the ability to skip
flushing CPU caches on those power-fail protected CPU cache.

Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com>
Fixes: 5fdf8e5ba566 ("libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()")
