Exactly, the completion-without-put_rq_priv pattern seems to occur
only for requests coming from the flusher, precisely because they have
the flag RQF_ELVPRIV unset.  Just to understand: why is this flag
unset for these requests, if they do have private elevator (bfq)
data attached?  What am I misunderstanding?

Just to be certain: this should be the only case where the
completed_request hook is invoked while the put_rq_priv is not, right?

Thanks,
