Subject: [PATCH v2 10/17] libnvdimm, pmem: use REQ_FUA,
 REQ_FLUSH for nvdimm_flush()

Given that nvdimm_flush() has higher overhead than wmb_pmem() (pointer
chasing through nd_region), and that we otherwise assume a platform has
ADR capability when flush hints are not present, move nvdimm_flush() to
REQ_FLUSH context.
