This commit introduces a new feature flag, BLK_FEAT_READ_SYNCHRONOUS,
which ensures that read operations always complete in the submit context.
This is useful for scenarios where synchronous read operations are required
while allowing write operations to remain asynchronous.

This patch is preparation for optimizing of the operation of the swap
device with next patch.
