block: misc cleanups in barrier code

Make the following cleanups in preparation of barrier/flush update.

* blk_do_ordered() declaration is moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to
  block/blk.h.

* blk_do_ordered() now returns pointer to struct request, with %NULL
  meaning "try the next request" and ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) "try again
  later".  The third case will be dropped with further changes.

* In the initialization of proxy barrier request, data direction is
  already set by init_request_from_bio().  Drop unnecessary explicit
  REQ_WRITE setting and move init_request_from_bio() above REQ_FUA
  flag setting.

* add_request() is collapsed into __make_request().

These changes don't make any functional difference.
