Looks good, but a few more nitpicks below.

I think it would be cleaner to return the flush data structure and
assign it in the caller.

I think we can just remove blk_mq_init_flush now that it's only
called in blk-flush.c anyway.

Similarly I would pass the flush structure here.

As this isn't really a queue I would call it blk_flush_data.

I don't think there is a need for this helper.
