[PATCH v2][trace-cmd] blk plugin: replace BLK_TC_BARRIER with BLK_TC_FLUSH/BLK_TC_FUA

[PATCH v2][trace-cmd] blk plugin: replace BLK_TC_BARRIER with BLK_TC_FLUSH/BLK_TC_FUA

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The BLK_TC_BARRIER flag was dropped in Linux commit c09c47caedc in
August 2011.  The blk plugin fails to build against recent kernel
headers.  Since no flag bits were left, the new BLK_TC_FLUSH flag reused
the BLK_TC_BARRIER bit.  The new BLK_TC_FUA flag was also added.

This patch updates fill_rwbs() to reflect the new
BLK_TC_FLUSH/BLK_TC_FUA flags.  This allows plugin_blk.c to build
successfully on recent kernels.  Most of the patch deals with detecting
old vs new kernel headers so we can build successfully on both.
