dax, pmem: introduce an optional 'flush' dax_operation
Filesystem-DAX flushes caches whenever it writes to the address returned
through dax_direct_access() and when writing back dirty radix entries.
That flushing is only required in the pmem case, so add a dax operation
to allow pmem to take this extra action, but skip it for other dax
capable devices that do not provide a flush routine.
An example for this differentiation might be a volatile ram disk where
there is no expectation of persistence. In fact the pmem driver itself might
front such an address range specified by the NFIT. So, this "no flush"
property might be something passed down by the bus / libnvdimm.
