Guard against issuing unsupported REQ_FUA and REQ_FLUSH was introduced
in d11e61583 and was factored out into blkif_request_flush_valid() in
0f1ca65ee. However:
1) This check in incomplete. In case we negotiated to feature_flush = REQ_FLUSH
and flush_op = BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE (so FUA is unsupported) FUA request
will still pass the check.
2) blkif_request_flush_valid() is misnamed. It is bool but returns true when
the request is invalid.
3) When blkif_request_flush_valid() fails -EIO is being returned. It seems that
-EOPNOTSUPP is more appropriate here.
Fix all of the above issues.

This patch is based on the original patch by Laszlo Ersek and a comment by
Jeff Moyer.

(although, as I mentioned last time, a companion patch to remove flush_op would be a good thing to have)
