Add wbc_to_write_flags(), which returns the write modifier flags to use,
based on a struct writeback_control. No functional changes in this
patch, but it prepares us for factoring other wbc fields for write type.

I think this should be `return 0;` after the op/flags split. WRITE == 1,
so this would get interpreted as REQ_FAILFAST_DEV in bi_opf.

Good catch, thanks! Fixed up.
