virtio-blk: report non-zero status when failing SG_IO requests
Linux really looks only at scsi->errors for SG_IO requests; it does
not look at the virtio request status at all. Because of this, when
a SG_IO request is failed early with virtio_blk_req_complete(req,
VIRTIO_BLK_S_UNSUPP), without writing hdr.status, it will look like
a success to the guest.
This is their bug, but we can make it safe for older guests now by
forcing scsi->errors to have a non-zero value whenever a request
has to be failed.
But if we fix the bug in the guest driver, we will have another problem
because QEMU returns VIRTIO_BLK_S_IOERR if the status is non-zero, and
Linux translates that to -EIO. Rather, the guest should succeed the
request and pass the non-zero status via the userspace-provided SG_IO
structure. So, remove the case where virtio_blk_handle_scsi can
return VIRTIO_BLK_S_IOERR.
