block: filter flush bio's in __generic_make_request()
There are a number of make_request based drivers which don't support cache flushes. Filter out flush bio's in __generic_make_request() so that they don't have to worry about them. All FLUSH/FUA requests with data are converted to regular IO requests and empty ones are completed immediately.
