Jens Axboe aeb6fafb8f block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IO
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the
previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.

Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.
