Subject: [PATCH] dm writecache: reject asynchronous pmem devices

References: bsc#1156395
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc5
Git-commit: a46624580376a3a0beb218d94cbc7f258696e29f

DM writecache does not handle asynchronous pmem. Reject it when
supplied as cache.

Fixes: 6e84200c0a29 ("virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver")
