Unplugging from a request function doesn't really help much (it's
already in the request_fn) and soon block layer will be updated to mix
barrier sequence with other commands, so there's no need to treat
queue flushing any differently.

ide was the only user of blk_queue_flushing().  Remove it.

David, can I route this patch through block tree with other barrier
changes?

Thanks.
