dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for bio-based dm
This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of
now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.
* -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped.
* Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced
with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues. This replaces
one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes.
* __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly
for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero
` length.
* It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm
targets are zero length. bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced
with REQ_FLUSH tests.
* Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes.
* Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests. Flushes are not unlikely
enough to be marked with unlikely().
* Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue
doesn't support cache flushing. Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
capability.
* Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue()
resets flush support to 0 for now. To avoid disturbing request
based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.
Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets. Please
proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.
