Zone write plugging ignores empty (no data) flush operations but handles
flush BIOs that have data to ensure that the flush machinery generated
write is processed in order. However, the call to
blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() which sets a request
RQF_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING flag is called after blk_insert_flush(), thus
missing indicating that a non empty flush request completion needs
handling by zone write plugging.
Fix this by moving the call to blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge()
before blk_insert_flush(). And while at it, rename that function as
blk_zone_write_plug_init_request() to be clear that it is not just about
merging plugged BIOs in the request. While at it, also add a WARN_ONCE()
check that the zone write plug for the request is not NULL.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
