There is no real reason to run blk_schedule_flush_plug() with
interrupts and preemption disabled.

Move it into schedule() and call it when the task is going voluntarily
to sleep. There might be false positives when the task is woken
between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really
different from being woken immediately after switching away.
