Currently, we report that controller has vwc even though the ns may
not have vwc. Report ns's vwc not present when not buffered_io or
backdev doesn't have vwc.

Based on Keith's v4 patch,
Changes from v4 to v5:
- When the backend is file, report support vwc even though buffered_io is
  disable, and add an annotation to expain it.
