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.

Fixes: 1e82fadf ("blk-mq: do not do head insertions post-pre-flush commands")
