From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz@xxxxxxxxxx>
'Issue' flag is added into buffer_head to indicate that a request is issued
to the disk. When an io doesn't hit page cache, 'Issue' flag will be set in
submit_bh(). Filesystem can understand request is sent to the disk according
to whether or not this flag is set. This flag will be cleared after filesystem
tests it. If filesystem doesn't want to count the io type, it can ignore this
flag.
