[PATCH 2/3] jbd2: Remove barrier feature conditional flag (or:always issue flushes)

[Darrick J. Wong]

As part of migrating the FLUSH/FUA knob to the block layer, remove the journal
flags and various conditionals in jbd2 that surround flush issue calls in favor
of always issuing the flush.  The block layer will handle gracefully the
situation where a FLUSH or FUA request is issued to a device that doesn't
support it.
