[PATCH v2 2/2] block: share request flush fields with elevator_private

[Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>]

Flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler.  Convert request
structure's elevator_private* into an array and have the flush fields
share a union with it.

Reclaim the space lost in 'struct request' by moving 'completion_data'
back in the union with 'rb_node'.
