block: fix q->flush_rq NULL pointer crash on dm-mpath flush
Commit 1874198 ("blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logic") switched
->flush_rq from being an embedded member of the request_queue structure
to being dynamically allocated in blk_init_queue_node().
Request-based DM multipath doesn't use blk_init_queue_node(), instead it
uses blk_alloc_queue_node() + blk_init_allocated_queue(). Because
commit 1874198 placed the dynamic allocation of ->flush_rq in
blk_init_queue_node() any flush issued to a dm-mpath device would crash
with a NULL pointer, e.g.:

Fix this by moving the ->flush_rq allocation from blk_init_queue_node()
to blk_init_allocated_queue(). blk_init_queue_node() also calls
blk_init_allocated_queue() so this change is functionality equivalent
for all blk_init_queue_node() callers.
