target/iblock: Fix WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 backend WRITE regression

This patch fixes a regression bug introduced in v3.9-rc1 where if the
underlying struct block_device for a IBLOCK backend is configured with
WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 settings, the rw = WRITE assignment no longer occurs
in iblock_execute_rw(), and rw = 0 is passed to iblock_submit_bios()
in effect causing a READ bio operation to occur.

The offending commit is:

    target/iblock: Use backend REQ_FLUSH hint for WriteCacheEnabled status

Note the WCE=1 + DPOFUA=0, WCE=0 + DPOFUA=1, and WCE=0 + DPOFUA=0 cases
are not affected by this regression bug.
