block: defer flush request no matter whether we have elevator
Commit 7520872c0cf4 ("block: don't defer flushes on blk-mq + scheduling") tried to fix deadlock for cycled wait between flush requests and data request into flush_data_in_flight. The former holded all driver tags and wait for data request completion, but the latter can not complete for waiting free driver tags. After commit 923218f6166a ("blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq"), flush requests will not get driver tag before queuing into flush queue. * With elevator, flush request just get sched_tags before inserting flush queue. It will not get driver tag until issue them to driver. data request on list fq->flush_data_in_flight will complete in the end. * Without elevator, each flush request will get a driver tag when allocate request. Then data request on fq->flush_data_in_flight don't worry about lacking driver tag. In both of these cases, cycled wait cannot be true. So we may allow to defer flush request.
