Subject: [PATCH] ide: remove unnecessary blk_queue_flushing() test in
do_ide_request()
Unplugging from a request function doesn't really help much (it's
already in the request_fn) and soon block layer will be updated to mix
barrier sequence with other commands, so there's no need to treat
queue flushing any differently.
ide was the only user of blk_queue_flushing(). Remove it.
