[PATCH 4/9] xfs: honor the O_SYNC flag for aysnchronous direct I/Orequests

[Darrick J. Wong]

If a file is opened with O_SYNC|O_DIRECT, the drive cache does not get
flushed after the write completion for AIOs.  This patch attempts to fix
that problem by marking an I/O as requiring a cache flush in endio
processing, and then issuing the cache flush after any unwritten extent
conversion is done.
