block, drivers, fs: rename REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH

Browse source 
To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by
request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer
perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch
renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.

We log things in order of completion once we are sure the write is no longer in
cache. This means that normal WRITE requests are not actually logged until the
next REQ_FLUSH request. This is to make it easier for userspace to replay the
log in a way that correlates to what is on disk and not what is in cache, to
make it easier to detect improper waiting/flushing.

This works by attaching all WRITE requests to a list once the write completes.
Once we see a REQ_FLUSH request we splice this list onto the request and once
Once we see a REQ_PREFLUSH request we splice this list onto the request and once
the FLUSH request completes we log all of the WRITEs and then the FLUSH. Only

completed WRITEs, at the time the REQ_PREFLUSH is issued, are added in order to
simulate the worst case scenario with regard to power failures. Consider the
following example (W means write, C means complete):
