If a request times out the .completed_request() method is not called and the .finish_request() method is only called if RQF_ELVPRIV has been set. Hence this patch that sets RQF_ELVPRIV and that adds a .finish_request() method. Without this patch, if a request times out the zone that request applies to remains locked forever and no further writes are accepted for that zone.
