Subject: [PATCH] block: fix unintended fallthrough in generic_make_request_checks()

Since commit e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of
blkdev_issue_zeroout") messages like the following show up:

EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2368848 at
logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 95
EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

Due to the following fallthrough introduced with
commit 2d253440b5af ("block: Define zoned block device operations"),
generic_make_request_checks() would accept a REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME bio only
if the block device supports "write same" *and* is a zoned one:

switch (bio_op(bio)) {
[...]
case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME:
if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev))
goto not_supported;
case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT:
case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET:
if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev))
goto not_supported;
break;
[...]
}

Thus, although the bio setup as done by __blkdev_issue_write_same() from
commit e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout")
would succeed, its actual submission would not, resulting in the
EOPNOTSUPP == 95.

Fix this by removing the fallthrough which, due to the lack of an explicit
comment, seems to be unintended anyway.

Fixes: e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout")
Fixes: 2d253440b5af ("block: Define zoned block device operations")

Applicable to next-20161202.

Note that after this patch, I'm seeing a single
EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2625094 at
logical offset 2032 with max blocks 2 with error 121
with 121 == EREMOTEIO

This is because my SATA sda reports 0x20 (invalid command) back
in response to 0x41 (WRITE_SAME).

After this has happened, sd_done() disables "write same" once and for
all, hence only this single message.

I expect this to get fixed by

Just FYI: Not really, the (supposedly) corresponding commit has already
been in linux-next when I was testing: commit 0ce1b18c42a5 ("libata:
Some drives failing on SCT Write Same").

I sent separate patch for this issue:
