blkdev_issue_flush() is a blocking function and returns only after
the flush bio is completed, so a module handling more than one
device can't issue flush for all the devices unless it uses worker
thread.
This patch adds a new function blkdev_issue_flush_no_wait(), which
uses submit_bio() instead of submit_bio_wait(), and accepts the
completion function and data from the caller.
