Subject: [PATCH 0/2] block atomic writes tidy-ups/fix

These two minor patches are tidy-ups for atomic write support.

Both are related to ignoring that REQ_ATOMIC can only be set for writes.

The block change could be considered a fix, as we are needlessly
checking for REQ_ATOMIC in fastpath.

Both changes can be picked up independently.

Thanks!

John Garry (2):
  scsi: sd: Don't check if a write for REQ_ATOMIC
  block: Don't check REQ_ATOMIC for reads
