block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIER

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left at this point is: - various checks inside the block layer. - sanity checks in bio based drivers. - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper. - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while, but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton. - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi drivers. - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been removed when flushes were converted to FS requests. - blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
