Subject: [PATCH][trace-cmd] blk plugin: replace BLK_TC_BARRIER with BLK_TC_FLUSH/BLK_TC_FUA

The BLK_TC_BARRIER flag was dropped in Linux commit c09c47caedc in
August 2011.  The blk plugin fails to build against recent kernel
headers.  Since no flag bits were left, the new BLK_TC_FLUSH flag reused
the BLK_TC_BARRIER bit.  The new BLK_TC_FUA flag was also added.

This patch updates fill_rwbs() to reflect the new
BLK_TC_FLUSH/BLK_TC_FUA flags.  This allows plugin_blk.c to build
successfully on recent kernels.  The drawback is that this breaks the
build for pre-c09c47caedc kernel headers.

There is an alternative version of this patch with a build test in the Makefile
so that we know whether to use BLK_TC_BARRIER or BLK_TC_FLUSH/BLK_TC_FUA.  That
would support both old and new kernel headers using a HAVE_BLK_TC_FLUSH #ifdef.

I wasn't able to find the right makefile shell escaping magic to get the
build-test function to work.  If anyone knows how to test a snippet like the
following, then that would be nicer:

  #include <linux/blktrace_api.h>
  int main(void) { return BLK_TC_FLUSH; }
