block: filter flush bio's in __generic_make_request()
There are a number of make_request based drivers which don't support
cache flushes.  Filter out flush bio's in __generic_make_request() so
that they don't have to worry about them.  All FLUSH/FUA requests with
data are converted to regular IO requests and empty ones are completed
immediately.
