Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] bdi: introduce BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
By discussion[1], we will replace rw_page devices with on-stack-bio.
For such super-fast devices to be detected, this patch introduces
BDI_CAP_SYNC which means synchronous IO would be more efficient for
asnychronous IO and uses the flags to brd, zram, btt and pmem.
