They don't need it, but using req there and freeing it in 
complete_request_early perhaps could simplify the code.

After all, the first three arguments of complete_request_early (s, elem, 
inhdr) are a duplicate of VirtIOBlockReq and do_flush_cmd is already 
doing a free after complete_request_early.
