Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: don't use rw_is_sync() to determine sync request

Buffer read is counted as sync in rw_is_sync(). If we use it,
blk_sq_make_request() will not do per-process plug any more.

I haven't changed blk_mq_make_request() yet. It makes sense to dispatch
REQ_SYNC request immediately. But for buffer read, it's weird not to do
per-process plug, as buffer read doesn't need low latency.
blk_mq_merge_queue_io() isn't very helpful, as we don't have delay mechanism
there, the queue is immediately flushed, which makes the merge very
superficial.
