[PATCH 6/6] block: remove RQ_NOIDLE from WRITE_SYNC

[Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>]

In trying to get fsync-ing processes to perform as well under CFQ as they
do in deadline, I found (with the current blk_yield approach) that it was
necessary to get rid of the RQ_NOIDLE flag for WRITE_SYNC I/O.  Instead,
we do explicit yielding of the I/O scheduler.

Comments, as always, are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Jeff
