commit cf5371ae460eb8e484e4884747af270c86c3c469 upstream.
There are cases when we don't want to send the SMB2 flush operation (e.g. when user specifies mount parm "nostrictsync") and it can be a very expensive operation on the server. In most cases in order to set mtime, we simply need to flush (write) the dirtry pages from the client and send the writes to the server not also send a flush protocol operation to the server.
