[patch 8/12] s390: enable write barriers in the dasd driver.
From: Stefan Weinhuber <wein@de.ibm.com>
The DASD device driver never reorders the I/O requests and relies on
the hardware to write all data to nonvolatile storage before signaling
a successful write. Hence, the only thing we have to do to support
write barriers is to set the queue ordered flag.
