From: Liu Yuan tailai...@taobao.com
The 'qemu-img convert -h' advertise that the default cache mode is
'writeback', while in fact it is 'unsafe'.
This patch 1) fix the help manual and 2) let bdrv_close() call bdrv_flush()
2) is needed because some backend storage doesn't have a self-flush
mechanism(for e.g., sheepdog), so we need to call bdrv_flush() to make
sure the image is really writen to the storage instead of hanging around
writeback cache forever.
