Subject: [PATCH 3.11 087/138] target: Don't allow setting WC emulation if device doesn't support

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

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

From: Andy Grover <agrover@...hat.com>

commit 07b8dae38b09bcfede7e726f172e39b5ce8390d9 upstream.

Just like for pSCSI, if the transport sets get_write_cache, then it is
not valid to enable write cache emulation for it. Return an error.

see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1082675
