Ming Lei 923218f616 blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq
The idea behind it is simple:

1) for none scheduler, driver tag has to be borrowed for flush rq,
   otherwise we may run out of tag, and that causes an IO hang. And
   get/put driver tag is actually noop for none, so reordering tags
   isn't necessary at all.

2) for a real I/O scheduler, we need not allocate a driver tag upfront
   for flush rq. It works just fine to follow the same approach as
   normal requests: allocate driver tag for each rq just before calling
   ->queue_rq().

One driver visible change is that the driver tag isn't shared in the
flush request sequence. That won't be a problem, since we always do that
in legacy path.

Then flush rq need not be treated specially wrt. get/put driver tag.
This cleans up the code - for instance, reorder_tags_to_front() can be
removed, and we needn't worry about request ordering in dispatch list
for avoiding I/O deadlock.

Also we have to put the driver tag before requeueing.
