xen-blkfront: Provide for 'feature-flush-cache' the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_FLUSH_CACHE operation.
The operation BLKIF_OP_WRITE_FLUSH_CACHE has existed in the Xen tree header file for years but it was never present in the Linux tree because the frontend (nor the backend) supported this interface. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

* non-volatile caches as appropriate. The "feature-flush-cache" node
|
||||
* contains a boolean indicating whether flush requests are likely to
|
||||
* succeed or fail. Either way, a flush request may fail at any time
|
||||
* with BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP if it is unsupported by the underlying
|
||||
* block-device hardware. The boolean simply indicates whether or not it
|
||||
* is worthwhile for the frontend to attempt flushes. If a backend does
|
||||
* not recognise BLKIF_OP_WRITE_FLUSH_CACHE, it should *not* create the
|
||||
* "feature-flush-cache" node!
