Subject: [GIT PULL 09/10] lightnvm: pblk: kick writer on new flush points

From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@...xlabs.com>

Unless we kick the writer directly when setting a new flush point, the
user risks having to wait for up to one second (the default timeout for
the write thread to be kicked) for the IO to complete.
