Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] [usb-storage] Add support for FL_ALWAYS_SYNC flag in the UAS driver

The ALWAYS_SYNC flag is currently honored by the usb-storage driver but not UAS
and is required to work around devices that become unstable upon being
queried for cache. This code is taken straight from:
drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c:284
