bsg: add support for tail queuing
Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request
at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to
blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues
are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause
starvation of the first submitted requests.
The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the
Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old
code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to
be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking
compatibility with it is OK at this stage.
sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first
nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits
are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just
in case.
