Subject: [PATCH v4 11/11] nvme: Ensure atomic writes will be executed atomically

From: Alan Adamson <alan.adamson@...cle.com>

There is no dedicated NVMe atomic write command (which may error for a
command which exceeds the controller atomic write limits).

As an insurance policy against the block layer sending requests which
cannot be executed atomically, add a check in the queue path.
