4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 8c4e97ddfe73a0958bb0abf7e6a3bc4cc3e04936 upstream.
The ALWAYS_SYNC flag is currently honored by the usb-storage driver but not UAS and is required to work around devices that become unstable upon being queried for cache. This code is taken straight from: drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c:284
