virtio_pmem: add the missing REQ_OP_WRITE for flush bio
When doing mkfs.xfs on a pmem device, the following warning was

The root cause is that submit_bio_noacct() needs bio_op() is either
WRITE or ZONE_APPEND for flush bio and async_pmem_flush() doesn't assign
REQ_OP_WRITE when allocating flush bio, so submit_bio_noacct just fail
the flush bio.
Simply fix it by adding the missing REQ_OP_WRITE for flush bio. And we
could fix the flush order issue and do flush optimization later.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
