mtd: mtd_blkdevs: handle REQ_FLUSH request and do explicit flush of writeback buffer
mtd_blkdevs is device with volatile cache (writeback buffer), so it should support
REQ_FLUSH to do explicit flush.
Without this patch 'sync' does not guarantee that writeback buffer will be flushed
on disk in case of power off, e.g.:
$ cp some_file /mnt
$ sync
### POWER OFF
In case of this sequence writeback buffer will not be flushed on disk.
This patch fixes this behaviour and explicitly reports to block layer that flush
requests are being supported.
