[PATCH v9 07/14] fs: Add check for async buffered writes to generic_write_checks

[Stefan Roesch <shr@fb.com>]

This introduces the flag FMODE_BUF_WASYNC. If devices support async
buffered writes, this flag can be set. It also modifies the check in
generic_write_checks to take async buffered writes into consideration.
