block: init flush rq ref count to 1
We discovered a problem in newer kernels where a disconnect of a NBD device while the flush request was pending would result in a hang. This is because the blk mq timeout handler does if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&rq->ref)) return true; to determine if it's ok to run the timeout handler for the request. Flush_rq's don't have a ref count set, so we'd skip running the timeout handler for this request and it would just sit there in limbo forever. Fix this by always setting the refcount of any request going through blk_init_rq() to 1. I tested this with a nbd-server that dropped flush requests to verify that it hung, and then tested with this patch to verify I got the timeout as expected and the error handling kicked in.
