block: add ability to flag write back caching on a device
Add an internal helper and flag for setting whether a queue has write back caching, or write through (or none). Add a sysfs file to show this as well, and make it changeable from user space. This will replace the (awkward) blk_queue_flush() interface that drivers currently use to inform the block layer of write cache state and capabilities.
