libnvdimm, pmem: disable dax flushing when pmem is fronting a volatile region
The pmem driver attaches to both persistent and volatile memory ranges advertised by the ACPI NFIT. When the region is volatile it is redundant to spend cycles flushing caches at fsync(). Check if the hosting region is volatile and do not set dax_write_cache() if it is.
