    All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
    caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
    to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
    state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
    specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
    argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
    blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
    gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.
