NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE/NO_CACHE_CLEAN are cleared in vb2_fill_vb2_v4l2_buffer()
[as was suggested], then the struct is copied back to user. But I think it
would be better to clear those flags when we clear
V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT. We have 4 places which do something
like
	"if !vb2_queue_allows_cache_hints(q) then clear flags bit".

Besides, vb2_fill_vb2_v4l2_buffer() is called only for !prepared
buffers, so the flags won't be cleared if the buffer is already
prepared.

Another thing is that, it seems, I need to patch compat32 code. It
copies to user structs member by member so I need to add ->flags.

I'm looking into it. Will it work if I patch the vivid test driver to
enable/disable ->allow_cache_hints bit per-node and include the patch
into the series. So then v4l2 tests can create some nodes with
->allow_cache_hints.  Something like this:
