netfslib offers the opportunity to do a form of writethrough caching on the
pagecache, whereby netfs_perform_write() will set up and dispatch writes to
the network as it copies data into the cache, falling back to the ordinary
writeback path for the dirty data if this fails. This is selected if the
user sets O_DSYNC, O_SYNC, RWF_DSYNC or RWF_SYNC or if the filesystem sets
NETFS_ICTX_WRITETHROUGH.
Change v9fs_fid_add_modes() to use this if O_DSYNC is set - and assuming
that CACHE_WRITEBACK is set and V9FS_SYNC is not set.
[?] Does it make sense to add an additional caching mode that uses
write-through for all non-DIO writes?
