Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] blk-flush: don't need to end rq twice for non postflush

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@...edance.com>

Now we unconditionally blk_rq_init_flush() to replace rq->end_io to
make rq return twice back to the flush state machine for post-flush.

Obviously, non post-flush requests don't need it, they don't need to
end request twice, so they don't need to replace rq->end_io callback.
And the same for requests with the FUA bit on hardware with FUA support.

There are also some other good points:
1. all requests on hardware with FUA support won't have post-flush, so
   all of them don't need to end twice.

2. non post-flush requests won't have RQF_FLUSH_SEQ rq_flags set, so
   they can merge like normal requests.

3. we don't account non post-flush requests in flush_data_in_flight,
   since there is no point to defer pending flush for these requests.
