libnvdimm/region: Fix nvdimm_has_flush() to handle ND_REGION_ASYNC
In case a platform doesn't provide explicit flush-hints but provides an explicit flush callback via ND_REGION_ASYNC region flag, then nvdimm_has_flush() still returns '0' indicating that writes do not require flushing. This happens on PPC64 with patch at [1] applied, where 'deep_flush' of a region was denied even though an explicit flush function was provided. Fix this by adding a condition to nvdimm_has_flush() to test for the ND_REGION_ASYNC flag on the region and see if a 'region->flush' callback is assigned.
