[RFC 03/11] pmem: enable REQ_FLUSH handling

[Ross Zwisler]

Currently the PMEM driver doesn't accept REQ_FLUSH bios.  These are sent
down via blkdev_issue_flush() in response to a fsync() or msync().

When we get an msync() or fsync() it is the responsibility of the DAX code
to flush all dirty pages to media.  The PMEM driver then just has issue a
wmb_pmem() in response to the REQ_FLUSH to ensure that before we return all
the flushed data has been durably stored on the media.
