commit 3899d94e3831ee07ea6821c032dc297aec80586a upstream.
When we receive a flush command (or "barrier" in DRBD), we currently use
a REQ_OP_FLUSH with the REQ_PREFLUSH flag set.
The correct way to submit a flush bio is by using a REQ_OP_WRITE without
any data, and set the REQ_PREFLUSH flag.
Since commit b4a6bb3a67aa ("block: add a sanity check for non-write
flush/fua bios"), this triggers a warning in the block layer, but this
has been broken for quite some time before that.
So use the correct set of flags to actually make the flush happen.
