Add an internal helper and flag for setting whether a queue has

to show this as well, and make it changeable from user space.

We do this by passing the REQ_FLUSH flag to blk_queue_flush today.
While that's not a great interface, adding a second one doesn't make it
any better :)

I think the newer one is cleaner, so would make more sense to put the flush part on top.
