Subject: [PATCH] block: initialize flush request with WRITE_FLUSH instead
 of REQ_FLUSH

init_flush_request() only set REQ_FLUSH when initializing flush
requests making them READ requests.  Use WRITE_FLUSH instead.

So, this was the culprit for the incorrect data direction for flush
requests.

Thanks.
