dm: fix unconditional IO throttle caused by REQ_PREFLUSH

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2115678

[ Upstream commit 88f7f56d16f568f19e1a695af34a7f4a6ce537a6 ]

When a bio with REQ_PREFLUSH is submitted to dm, __send_empty_flush()
generates a flush_bio with REQ_OP_WRITE | REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_SYNC,
which causes the flush_bio to be throttled by wbt_wait().

An example from v5.4, similar problem also exists in upstream:

After commit 2def284 ("xfs: don't allow log IO to be throttled"),
the metadata submitted by xlog_write_iclog() should not be throttled.
But due to the existence of the dm layer, throttling flush_bio indirectly
causes the metadata bio to be throttled.

Fix this by conditionally adding REQ_IDLE to flush_bio.bi_opf, which makes
wbt_should_throttle() return false to avoid wbt_wait().
