We noticed a SCSI device that refused to allow READ CAPACITY when the device had a PR with exclusive access, registrants only. The result of this situation is that the blocklayout driver adds a pnfs_block_dev of zero length which always fails the offset_in_map tests. Instead of continuously trying to do pNFS for this case, just mark the device as unavailable which will allow the client to fallback to the MDS for the duration of PNFS_DEVICE_RETRY_TIMEOUT.
Looks good: Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
