Please avoid the overly long here.  Maybe just rename enqueue to queue
here and for the preflush version as we don't really use enqueue in
the flush code anyway.

I'd initialize these ad declaration time:

	struct list_head *preflush_running =
		&fq->preflush_queue[fq->flush_running_idx];
	struct list_head *postflush_running =
		&fq->postflush_queue[fq->flush_running_idx];
	unsigned int nr_requeue = 0;
	struct request *rq, *n;

No need for the braces.
