lightnvm: pblk: simplify path on REQ_PREFLUSH
On REQ_PREFLUSH, directly tag the I/O context flags to signal a flush in the write to cache path, instead of finding the correct entry context and imposing a memory barrier. This simplifies the code and might potentially prevent race conditions when adding functionality to the write path.
