block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush

Browse source 
One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.

Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).

This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.

Thanks to Shaohua Li <[email protected]> for testing and fixing
an accounting bug.
