Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dm-io: don't warn if flush takes too long time

There was reported hang warning when using dm-integrity on the top of loop
device on XFS on a rotational disk. The warning was triggered because
flush on the loop device was too slow.

There's no easy way to reduce the latency, so I made a commit that shuts
the warning up.

This commit replaces wait_for_completion_io with
wait_for_completion_long_io, so that the warning is avoided.
