For historic reasons, io_opt is in bytes and max_sectors in block layer
sectors. This interface inconsistency is error prone and should be
fixed. But for 4.4--4.7 let's make the unit difference explicit via a
wrapper function.

Pull libata ZAC support from Tejun Heo:
 "This contains Zone ATA Command support for Shingled Magnetic Recording

  In addition to sending the new commands down to the device, as ZAC

  up responses is beefed up too.  However, it doesn't involve changes to
  libata core mechanism or its interaction with upper layers, so I'm not

Only SRC-based adapters support the AifReqEvent function, so there is no
point in trying to activate it on older, non-SRC based adapters.  Doing
so lead to crashes on older adapters.

sd_check_events() is called asynchronously, and might race
with device removal. So always take a disk reference when
processing the event to avoid the device being removed while
the event is processed.

When SCSI was written, all commands coming from the filesystem
(REQ_TYPE_FS commands) had data.  This meant that our signal for needing
to complete the command was the number of bytes completed being equal to
the number of bytes in the request.  Unfortunately, with the advent of
flush barriers, we can now get zero length REQ_TYPE_FS commands, which
confuse this logic because they satisfy the condition every time.  This
means they never get retried even for retryable conditions, like UNIT
ATTENTION because we complete them early assuming they're done.  Fix
this by special casing the early completion condition to recognise zero
length commands with errors and let them drop through to the retry code.
