[PATCH-4.6 3/3] NVMe: Don't allow unsupported flags

[keith.busch@intel.com (Keith Busch)]

The command flags can change the meaning of other fields in the command
that the driver is not prepared to handle. Specifically, the user could
passthrough an SGL flag, causing the controller to misinterpret the PRP
list the driver created, potentially corrupting memory or data.

Alternatively I have a different patch that builds SGL's if the flags
has it set and the device supports SGL. Any interest?

I didn't post it since the fast path only gets PRP-able scatter lists,
and the additional logic to handle SGL's complicates handling the NVMe
IO descriptor.
