[PATCH] block: Submit flush requests to the I/O scheduler

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>]

When submitting a REQ_OP_WRITE | REQ_FUA request to a zoned storage
device, these requests must be passed to the (mq-deadline) I/O scheduler
to ensure that these happen at the write pointer. It has been verfied
that this patch prevents that write pointer violations happen
sporadically when f2fs is using a zoned storage device.
