Subject: [PATCH 4.16 67/81] block/swim: Dont log an error message for an invalid ioctl

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

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

From: Finn Thain <fthain@...egraphics.com.au>

commit 8e2ab5a4efaac77fb93e5b5b109d0b3976fdd3a0 upstream.

The 'eject' shell command may send various different ioctl commands.
This leads to error messages on the console even though the FDEJECT
ioctl succeeds.

~# eject floppy
SWIM floppy_ioctl: unknown cmd 21257
SWIM floppy_ioctl: unknown cmd 1

Don't log an error message for an invalid ioctl, just do as the
swim3 driver does and return -ENOTTY.
