This patch is the first in a series to refactor the barrier= mount options out
of the filesystem code. This patch adds sysfs knobs to disable flush and FUA;
of course, the automatic default is the safe choice, i.e. to leave them
enabled. Obviously, only a seasoned administrator should ever be overriding
the defaults.
