This is just a "bonus". :)

Subject: [PATCH v2] block: export SSD/non-rotational queue flag through sysfs

For some devices (i.e. CFA ATA) we can't reliably detect whether
the device is of rotational or non-rotational type so we need to
leave the final decision about this setting to the user-space.

As a bonus do a minor CodingStyle fixup in queue_nomerges_store().
