xen/blkfront: Only check REQ_FUA for writes
[ Upstream commit b6ebaa8100090092aa602530d7e8316816d0c98d ]
The existing code silently converts read operations with the
REQ_FUA bit set into write-barrier operations. This results in data
loss as the backend scribbles zeroes over the data instead of returning
it.
While the REQ_FUA bit doesn't make sense on a read operation, at least
one well-known out-of-tree kernel module does set it and since it
results in data loss, let's be safe here and only look at REQ_FUA for
writes.
