Subject: [PATCH 5.4 04/32] Revert "Revert "block: end bio with BLK_STS_AGAIN in case of non-mq devs and REQ_NOWAIT""

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit bba91cdba612fbce4f8575c5d94d2b146fb83ea3 which is
commit b0beb28097fa04177b3769f4bb7a0d0d9c4ae76e upstream.

It breaks things in 5.4.y, so let's drop it.
