This is a preparation patch which moves the duplicate code for sectors and nr_sectors calculations for bio vs request mode into their respective callers (null_queue_bio(), null_qeueue_req()). Now the core function only deals with the respective actions and commands instead of having to calculte the bio vs req operations and different sector related variables. We also move the flush command handling at the top which significantly simplifies the rest of the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
