LU-10970 tests: make sure write is complete

The current test does not guarantee the write has arrived
on the server before dropping caches and checking memory
usage.  If the write is still in progress, the baseline
memory used value will be incorrect.

Sync on the client to force the write out.

Test-Parameters: trivial
