virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path
We need to support both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA for bio based path since it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request based drivers can request. REQ_FLUSH is emulated by: A) If the bio has no data to write: 1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device, 2. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio B) If the bio has data to write: 1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device 2. In the flush I/O completion handler, send the actual write data to device 3. In the write I/O completion handler, finish the bio REQ_FUA is emulated by: 1. Send the actual write data to device 2. In the write I/O completion handler, send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device 3. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio Changes in v7: - Using vbr->flags to trace request type - Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter - Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function Cahnges in v6: - Reworked REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA emulatation order Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Shaohua Li <shli@kernel.org> Cc: "Michael S.
