No. I'll just move NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE/NO_CACHE_CLEAN handling to
set_buffer_cache_hints(). This is where we take care of q->memory
and q->allow_cache_hints, this is where we set/clear the
->need_cache_sync flags, this is where we also can clear v4l2_buffer
->flags. Seems like a better place than vb2_fill_vb2_v4l2_buffer().
