block: BARRIER request should imply SYNC
A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward progress due to the queue draining. Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush and some places in DM/MD. For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup in the 2-3% range.
