We can't initalize the elevator fields for flushes as flush share space
in struct request with the elevator data. But currently we can't
commnicate that a request is a flush through blk_get_request as we
can only pass READ or WRITE, and the low-level code looks at the
possible NULL bio to check for a flush.
Fix this by allowing to pass any block op and flags, and by checking for
the flush flags in __get_request.
