Linux 2.6.36 compat, synchronous bio flag

The name of the flag used to mark a bio as synchronous has changed
again in the 2.6.36 kernel due to the unification of the BIO_RW_*
and REQ_* flags.  The new flag is called REQ_SYNC.  To simplify
checking this flag I have introduced the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync()
helper function.  Based on the results of several new autoconf
tests it uses the correct mask to check for a synchronous bio.

Preferred interface for flagging a synchronous bio:
  2.6.12-2.6.29: BIO_RW_SYNC
  2.6.30-2.6.35: BIO_RW_SYNCIO
  2.6.36-2.6.xx: REQ_SYNC
