[PATCH v5 5/6] ext4: disable map_sync for async flush

[Pankaj Gupta <pagupta@redhat.com>]

Dont support 'MAP_SYNC' with non-DAX files and DAX files
with asynchronous dax_device. Virtio pmem provides 
asynchronous host page cache flush mechanism. We don't
support 'MAP_SYNC' with virtio pmem and ext4.
