5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Haberland <sth@linux.ibm.com>

commit cddb447c62466f3076938ce120028d7b591f9f37 upstream.

dasd_int_handler() completes an NRF read of an unallocated ESE track by
calling ese_read() and unconditionally marking the request
DASD_CQR_SUCCESS. dasd_eckd_ese_read() can return an error before it has
zeroed the destination buffer: a failed sense-data parse or a current
track outside the requested range both return early, leaving the
destination pages untouched. The request is still completed successfully,
so the block layer is handed stale / uninitialized memory instead of
zeros.

Check the ese_read() return value and fail the request through the normal
error path instead of forcing DASD_CQR_SUCCESS.
