There was the report of strange behavior of device with recent
blkdev_issue_flush() position change.

The following is simplified usbmon trace.

 4203   9.160230         host -> 1.25.1       USBMS 95 SCSI: Synchronize Cache(10) LUN: 0x00 (LBA: 0x00000000, Len: 0)
 4206   9.164911       1.25.1 -> host         USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Synchronize Cache(10)) (Good)
 4207   9.323927         host -> 1.25.1       USBMS 95 SCSI: Read(10) LUN: 0x00 (LBA: 0x00279950, Len: 240)
 4212   9.327138       1.25.1 -> host         USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Read(10)) (Good)

[...]

 7323  10.202167         host -> 1.25.1       USBMS 95 SCSI: Synchronize Cache(10) LUN: 0x00 (LBA: 0x00000000, Len: 0)
 7326  10.432266       1.25.1 -> host         USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Synchronize Cache(10)) (Good)
 7327  10.769092         host -> 1.25.1       USBMS 95 SCSI: Test Unit Ready LUN: 0x00 
 7330  10.769192       1.25.1 -> host         USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Test Unit Ready) (Good)
 7335  12.849093         host -> 1.25.1       USBMS 95 SCSI: Test Unit Ready LUN: 0x00 
 7338  12.849206       1.25.1 -> host         USBMS 77 SCSI: Response LUN: 0x00 (Test Unit Ready) (Check Condition)
 7339  12.849209         host -> 1.25.1       USBMS 95 SCSI: Request Sense LUN: 0x00
 
If "Synchronize Cache" command issued then there is idle time, the
device stop to process further commands, and behave as like no media.
(it returns NOT_READY [MEDIUM NOT PRESENT] for SENSE command, and this
happened on Kindle) [just a guess, the device is trying to detect the
"safe-unplug" operation of Windows or such?]

To workaround those devices and provide flexibility, this adds
"barrier"/"nobarrier" mount options to fat driver.
