Subject: [PATCH 23/30] nilfs2: replace barriers with explicit flush / FUA usage

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>

Switch to the WRITE_FLUSH_FUA flag for log writes, remove the EOPNOTSUPP
detection for barriers and stop setting the barrier flag for discards.

tj: nilfs is now fixed to wait for discard completion.  Updated this
    patch accordingly and dropped warning about it.
