It seems that FUSE can invoke flush to make sure the pending changes
(e.g. to the attributes) of a file are set. Since a missing flush
implementation is handled as if it were returning ENOSYS, this can cause
issues later.
To overcome this, just provide a stub implementation which does nothing,
since we have nothing to do and don't want to have FUSE error out.
Furthermore, uncomment the timestamp checks in test-fuse.sh, since now
they should be working fine.

I had to check what file_operations.flush is used for (to check that
it's not fsync), but as you say it's just used to indicate that the
file descriptor has been closed.
So, ACK.
Thanks,
Rich.
