Subject: [PATCH 4.19 09/48] btrfs: check-integrity: fix a warning on write caching disabled disk

From: Wang Yugui <wangyugui@...-tech.com>

[ Upstream commit a91cf0ffbc244792e0b3ecf7d0fddb2f344b461f ]

When a disk has write caching disabled, we skip submission of a bio with
flush and sync requests before writing the superblock, since it's not
needed. However when the integrity checker is enabled, this results in
reports that there are metadata blocks referred by a superblock that
were not properly flushed. So don't skip the bio submission only when
the integrity checker is enabled for the sake of simplicity, since this
is a debug tool and not meant for use in non-debug builds.

fstests/btrfs/220 trigger a check-integrity warning like the following
when CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY=y and the disk with WCE=0.

  btrfs: attempt to write superblock which references block M @5242880 (sdb2/5242880/0) which is not flushed out of disk's write cache (block flush_gen=1, dev->flush_gen=0)!
