virtio_blk: revert QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT addition

It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance
regressions for Fedora users:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695

while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag
is wrong.

Rationale:

  QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue
  unplugged immediately.  This is not a good behaviour for at least
  qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every
  I/O operations.  Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO,
  MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb
  I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb
  requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the
  QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed.
  If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes
  sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host.
