block: queue data commands from the flush state machine at the head
We used to insert the data commands following a pre-flush to the head of the queue until commit 1e82fadf ("blk-mq: do not do head insertions post-pre-flush commands"). Not doing this seems to cause hangs of such commands on NFS workloads when exported from file systems with SATA SSDs. I have no idea why this would starve these workloads, but doing a semantic revert of this patch (which looks quite different due to various other changes) fixes the hangs.
