Subject: [PATCH 5.4 103/142] Revert "block: end bio with BLK_STS_AGAIN in case of non-mq devs and REQ_NOWAIT"

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>

[ Upstream commit b0beb28097fa04177b3769f4bb7a0d0d9c4ae76e ]

This reverts commit c58c1f83436b501d45d4050fd1296d71a9760bcb.

io_uring does do the right thing for this case, and we're still returning
-EAGAIN to userspace for the cases we don't support. Revert this change
to avoid doing endless spins of resubmits.
