[PATCH 3/6] block: make every barrier action optional

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Thu Nov 27 2008 - 23:32:44 EST


In all barrier sequences, the barrier write itself was always assumed
to be issued and thus didn't have corresponding control flag. This
patch adds QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and unify action mask handling in
start_ordered() such that any barrier action can be skipped.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
