I am not quite sure where the problems could even be.  I think the
interesting aspects are:

 - we are not directly processing through the normal submission path
   instead of adding the command to the flush_data_in_flight list and
   then going through blk_kick_flush.  So a command now gets executed
   earlier than it did before.

 - given that it only happens with SATA, it must be in some way related
   to the fact that ATA flush commands are not queud, that is when a
   flush is outstanding no other command can't.
