Subject: [PATCH 5.10 054/103] scsi: target: Fix the pgr/alua_support_store functions

From: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit ef7ae7f746e95c6fa4ec2bcfacb949c36263da78 ]

Commit 356ba2a8bc8d ("scsi: target: tcmu: Make pgr_support and alua_support
attributes writable") introduced support for changeable alua_support and
pgr_support target attributes. These can only be changed if the backstore
is user-backed, otherwise the kernel returns -EINVAL.

This triggers a warning in the targetcli/rtslib code when performing a
target restore that includes non-userbacked backstores:

  # targetctl restore
  Storage Object block/storage1: Cannot set attribute alua_support:
  [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped
  Storage Object block/storage1: Cannot set attribute pgr_support:
  [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped

Fix this warning by returning an error code only if we are really going to
flip the PGR/ALUA bit in the transport_flags field, otherwise we will do
nothing and return success.

Return ENOSYS instead of EINVAL if the pgr/alua attributes can not be
changed, this way it will be possible for userspace to understand if the
operation failed because an invalid value has been passed to strtobool() or
because the attributes are fixed.

Fixes: 356ba2a8bc8d ("scsi: target: tcmu: Make pgr_support and alua_support attributes writable")
