iomap: treat a write through cache the same as FUA
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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
