open(2): fix the description of O_FSYNC
The man page claims that with O_FSYNC (aka O_SYNC) the kernel will not cache written data. However, that's not true. Nor does POSIX require it. Perhaps it was true when that section of the man page was written in r69336 (I haven't checked). But it's not true now. Now the effect is simply that writes are sent to disk immediately and synchronously, but they're still cached.
