flush_op is unambiguously defined by feature_flush:
REQ_FUA | REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER
REQ_FLUSH -> BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE
0 -> 0
and thus can be removed. This is just a cleanup.

The patch was suggested by Boris Ostrovsky.

The patch is supposed to be applied after "xen/blkfront: improve protection
against issuing unsupported REQ_FUA".

To better future-proof it against new flags maybe something like

switch ( info->feature_flush & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA) ) {
case REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA: ...
case REQ_FLUSH: ...
default: ...

or the if/else equivalent?

And something similar here?

Thanks.
