Subject: [PATCH v2] xen/blkfront: remove redundant flush_op

flush_op is unambiguously defined by feature_flush:
    REQ_FUA | REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER
    REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE
    0 -> 0
and thus can be removed. This is just a cleanup.

The patch was suggested by Boris Ostrovsky.

Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@...hat.com>

Changes from v1:
   Future-proof feature_flush against new flags [Boris Ostrovsky].

The patch is supposed to be applied after "xen/blkfront: improve protection
against issuing unsupported REQ_FUA".
