Whether we have a write back cache and are using FUA or don't have a write back cache at all is the same situation. Treat them the same. This makes the IOMAP_DIO_WRITE_FUA name a bit misleading, as we have two cases that provide stable writes: 1) Volatile write cache with FUA writes 2) Normal write without a volatile write cache Rename that flag to IOMAP_DIO_STABLE_WRITE to make that clearer, and update some of the FUA comments as well.
