No argument needed.  Definitely needs fixing.  Too many upper layers
consider BLK_STS_NOSPC retryable (XFS, ext4, dm-thinp, etc).  Which
NVME_SC_LBA_RANGE absolutely isn't.

When I backfilled NVME_SC_LBA_RANGE handling I categorized it as
BLK_STS_TARGET.  Do you have a better suggestion for how
NVME_SC_LBA_RANGE should be categorized?
