From: Saugata Das <saugata.das@xxxxxxxxxx>
Today, storage devices like eMMC has special features like data tagging
(introduced in MMC-4.5 version) in order to improve performance of some
specific writes. On MMC stack, data tagging is used for all writes which
has REQ_META flag set. This patch adds the capability to add REQ_META flag
during meta data write.
