<title>nvme: fix merge error due to change of 'make_request_fn' fn type</title>

<id>93c3d65b28bab6da520c2add9cb387a0303f8b2d</id>
<content type='text'>
The type of 'make_request_fn' changed in 5a7bbad27a4 ("block: remove
support for bio remapping from -&gt;make_request"), but the merge of the
nvme driver didn't take that into account, and as a result the driver
would compile with a warning:

  drivers/block/nvme.c: In function 'nvme_alloc_ns':
  drivers/block/nvme.c:1336:2: warning: passing argument 2 of 'blk_queue_make_request' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
  include/linux/blkdev.h:830:13: note: expected 'void (*)(struct request_queue *, struct bio *)' but argument is of type 'int (*)(struct request_queue *, struct bio *)'

It's benign, but the warning is annoying.

Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
