dm snapshot: flush disk cache when merging
commit 762a80d9fc9f690a3a35983f3b4619a220650808 upstream. This patch makes dm-snapshot flush disk cache when writing metadata for merging snapshot. Without cache flushing the disk may reorder metadata write and other data writes and there is a possibility of data corruption in case of power fault.
