Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

During long I/O operations, the hang_check timer may fire,
trigger stack dumps that unnecessarily alarm the user.
Eg. hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdb ## can take *hours* to complete
So, if hang_check is armed, we should wake up periodically
to prevent it from triggering. This patch uses a wake-up interval
equal to half the hang_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests. This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

RQ_NOMERGE_FLAGS already clears defines which REQ flags aren't
mergeable. There is no reason to specify it superflously. It only
adds to confusion. Don't set REQ_NOMERGE for barriers and requests
with specific queueing directive. REQ_NOMERGE is now exclusively used
by the merging code.

All the users of blk_end_sync_rq has gone (they are converted to use
blk_execute_rq). This unexports blk_end_sync_rq.

For blk_pm_resume_request() requests (which are used only by IDE subsystem
currently) the queue is stopped so we need to call ->request_fn explicitly.
Thanks to:
- Rafael for reporting/bisecting the bug
- Borislav/Rafael for testing the fix
This is a preparation for converting IDE to use blk_execute_rq().
