Build failure on ppc64 drivers/block/ps3disk.c

allmodconfig on ppc64 fails to build with the following error

drivers/block/ps3disk.c: In function `ps3disk_probe':
drivers/block/ps3disk.c:509: error: implicit declaration of function `blk_queue_issue_flush_fn'
make[2]: *** [drivers/block/ps3disk.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/block] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

The problem seems to be coming from git-block.patch. Jens, glancing through
the patch, the function blk_queue_issue_flush_fn() seems to be have been
made redundant. Based on that, this looks like the correct fix but it needs
a review. Thanks
