Subject: [PATCH 04/14] block: cleanup REQ_SOFTBARRIER usages

Impact: cleanup

Low level drivers don't need to worry about REQ_SOFTBARRIER, either
does blk_insert_request().  Don't set it there.  It doesn't cause
malfunction but is confusing.  After this, REQ_SOFTBARRIER is used
only in elevator proper and for discard requests.
