blk-flush: count inflight flush_data requests
The flush state machine use a double list to link all inflight flush_data requests, to avoid issuing separate post-flushes for these flush_data requests which shared PREFLUSH. So we can't reuse rq->queuelist, this is why we need rq->flush.list In preparation of the next patch that reuse rq->queuelist for flush state machine, we change the double linked list to unsigned long counter, which count all inflight flush_data requests. This is ok since we only need to know if there is any inflight flush_data request, so unsigned long counter is good.
