um: ubd: Add REQ_FLUSH suppport
UML's block device driver does not support write barriers, to support this this patch adds REQ_FLUSH suppport. Every time the block layer sends a REQ_FLUSH we fsync() now our backing file to guarantee data consistency. Reported-and-tested-by: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
