block: kill QUEUE_ORDERED_BY_TAG

Nobody is making meaningful use of ORDERED_BY_TAG now and queue
draining for barrier requests will be removed soon which will render
the advantage of tag ordering moot.  Kill ORDERED_BY_TAG.  The
following users are affected.

* brd: converted to ORDERED_DRAIN.
* virtio_blk: ORDERED_TAG path was already marked deprecated.  Removed.
* xen-blkfront: ORDERED_TAG case dropped.
