zloop: clear nowait flag in workqueue context

The zloop driver advertises REQ_NOWAIT support through BLK_FEAT_NOWAIT
(enabled by default for all blk-mq devices), and honors the nowait
behavior throughout zloop_queue_rq().

However, actual I/O to the backing file is performed in a workqueue,
where blocking is allowed.

To avoid imposing unnecessary non-blocking constraints in this blocking
context, clear the REQ_NOWAIT flag before processing the request in the
workqueue context.
