fuse: add FOPEN_NOFLUSH
Add flag returned by FUSE_OPEN and FUSE_CREATE requests to avoid flushing
data cache on close.
Different filesystems implement ->flush() is different ways:
- Most disk filesystems do not implement ->flush() at all
- Some network filesystem (e.g. nfs) flush local write cache of
FMODE_WRITE file and send a "flush" command to server
- Some network filesystem (e.g. cifs) flush local write cache of
FMODE_WRITE file without sending an additional command to server
FUSE flushes local write cache of ANY file, even non FMODE_WRITE
and sends a "flush" command to server (if server implements it).
The FUSE implementation of ->flush() seems over agressive and
arbitrary and does not make a lot of sense when writeback caching is
disabled.
Instead of deciding on another arbitrary implementation that makes
sense, leave the choice of per-file flush behavior in the hands of
the server.
