dm: skip second flush on bio unsupported error
When processing barriers, skip the second flush if processing the bio failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. This can happen with discard+barrier requests. If the device doesn't support discard, there would be two useless SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands. The first dm_flush cannot be so easily optimized out, so we leave it there. Previously, -EOPNOTSUPP could be received in dec_pending only with empty barriers and we ignored that error, assuming the device not supporting cache flushes has cache always consistent. With the addition of discard barriers, this -EOPNOTSUPP can also be generated by discards and we must record it in md->barrier_error for process_barrier.
