Filesystem-DAX flushes caches whenever it writes to the address returned through dax_direct_access() and when writing back dirty radix entries. That flushing is only required in the pmem case, so the dax_flush() helper skips cache management work when the underlying driver does not specify a flush method. We still do all the dirty tracking since the radix entry will already be there for locking purposes. However, the work to clean the entry will be a nop for some dax drivers.
