We can't initalize the elevator fields for flushes as flush share space in struct request with the elevator data. But currently we can't commnicate that a request is a flush through blk_get_request as we can only pass READ or WRITE, and the low-level code looks at the possible NULL bio to check for a flush. Fix this by allowing to pass any block op and flags, and by checking for the flush flags in __get_request.
