4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alexander Kappner <agk@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8c4e97ddfe73a0958bb0abf7e6a3bc4cc3e04936 upstream.
The ALWAYS_SYNC flag is currently honored by the usb-storage driver but not UAS
and is required to work around devices that become unstable upon being
queried for cache. This code is taken straight from:
