Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] block: cope with WRITE ZEROES failing in blkdev_issue_zeroout()

The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in
response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing
__blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios.

This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing
and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is
specified.  For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if
sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload
support.
