virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path

We need to support both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA for bio based path since
it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request
based drivers can request.

REQ_FLUSH is emulated by:
A) If the bio has no data to write:
1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device,
2. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio

B) If the bio has data to write:
1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
2. In the flush I/O completion handler, send the actual write data to device
3. In the write I/O completion handler, finish the bio

REQ_FUA is emulated by:
1. Send the actual write data to device
2. In the write I/O completion handler, send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
3. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio

Changes in v7:
- Using vbr->flags to trace request type
- Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter
- Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function

Cahnges in v6:
- Reworked REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA emulatation order
