In the current implementation, final zone-mgmt request is issued with submit_bio_wait() which marks the bio REQ_SYNC. This is needed since immediate action is expected for zone-mgmt requests as these are blocking operations. This also bypasses the scheduler in the blk_mq_make_request() and dispatches the request directly into the hw ctx. This patch marks all the chained bios REQ_SYNC so that we can have above-mentioned behavior for non-final bios also.
