But map->cache_dirty means "any register is dirty," not "all registers
are dirty." So it can only be cleared after a successful flush.

If one of the writes fails and regcache_sync() has to return
prematurely, we probably don't want no_sync_defaults to stay true
because some of the HW registers might not match map->reg_defaults
anymore.

Leaving it set to true wouldn't break the current regcache_sync()
implementation, but no_sync_defaults is documented as: "if set, the HW
registers are known to match map->reg_defaults". Writing any register
to a non-default value makes it false.
