This patch has been generated as follows:

for verb in set_unlocked clear_unlocked set clear; do
  replace-in-files queue_flag_${verb} blk_queue_flag_${verb%_unlocked} \
    $(git grep -lw queue_flag_${verb} drivers block/bsg*)
done

Except for protecting all queue flag changes with the queue lock
this patch does not change any functionality.

All the MTD block write requests are failing with
following error messages

    mkfs.ext4  /dev/mtdblock0

    print_req_error: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0
    Buffer I/O error on dev mtdblock0, logical block 0,
    lost async page write

The control is going to default case after block write request
because of missing return.

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

<title>block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space</title>

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

    struct gendisk *disk;

    - disk-&gt;driverfs_dev = E;

...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.
