There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss
against unexpected hang or power failure. One is sync file function (i.e.
nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl.
This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier
mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent
storage on their completion.
